How can I get the size of scrollbars on a DataGridView control?

Question

How can I get the height of horizontal and/or width of vertical scrollbar that appears on control (e.g. DataGridView)?

Solution 1

Use:

SystemInformation.HorizontalScrollBarHeight;
SystemInformation.VerticalScrollBarWidth;

Solution 2

The scrollbars that appear on your DataGridView will be the same horizontal height and vertical width as all of the other scrollbars on your computer. These sizes are defined by the active Windows theme, and exposed by the .NET Framework in the following properties of the SystemInformation class:

• VerticalScrollBarWidth
• HorizontalScrollBarHeight

The same class also provides additional information about the default scrollbar parameters in the current system environment.

If you need to know which scrollbars are currently visible on your control, use its ScrollBars property. This gets or sets one of the ScrollBars values, either None, Horizontal, Vertical, or Both.
