Panel Auto Scroll - Vertical Only

[jonbatts]

I can set a panels ScrollBars property to Vertical, to show only a vertical scrollbar, and Auto, to show scrollbars (vertical and horizontal) only when necessary. Is there a way to get a panel to scroll vertically, but not horizontally, and only when necessary? Sort of like a combination of Auto and Vertical. Thanks, and have a great day.

The scrollbars are created by setting the overflow attribute on a HTML element (which is what the Panel does when you set it's ScrollBars property). If what you want to do is possible, then you could apply this solution via CSS, I'd ask in the the HTML forum if it is possible and then you can decide how best to implement it from ASP.NET.

The Auto attribute will tell the browser to show scrollbars only if necessary.

- Scrollbars will usually appear vertically when you have a long text that can't be displayed in a single screen.
- They will usually appear horizontally if you have an element that forces it. A long horizontal image bigger than the width of your panel could force horizontal scroll.

Another something that could force your panel (div tag) to scroll horizontally is a long text with no spaces ("sdkfhkdsjhfkdjshkjsdhfkdjshksdfjlfkhdsjfhkdsjhfkdjsfhkdsjfkdsjfhsdhfhhfhjfhksdjfhdksjfhksdjflkdsjflkj").
