Is it possible to scroll a subfile grid with mouse drag? That is, clicking anywhere in the subfile and pulling either up or down with the mouse to scroll.

Also, is it possible to increase the width of the subfile grid scrollbar?

The reason I am asking is because I am developing a POS system in profound ui which will run on touch screen monitors.

Hi Paul,

If your grid is inside of a 'Mobile Device' layout, then you should be able to scroll the grid by dragging your mouse up or down on the grid, as well as use your finger to scroll the grid on touch screen devices. However, it's important to note that if you place your grid in a mobile device layout, you will not have a 'normal scrollbar' on the grid, you will only have the 'mobile scrollbar'. This means that you will only see the scrollbar when the user is actively dragging the grid to scroll. Please see the image below:
Notice the smaller, gray mobile scrollbar. If you choose to place your grid in a mobile device layout, changing the size of the scrollbar wouldn't be necessary as it only shows up when you're scrolling.

Does this help? Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Thanks!

The scrollbar is determined by the device/browser not by Profound UI. For example, if you run it on Mac you'll see a completely different scrollbar (the one Mac users are used to) rather than the one you see in Windows. Also, you'll see that it is slightly different between the different browsers. So your POS device is what determines the scrollbar size, not Profound UI. Unfortunately, I don't know how to help further with that.

With regards to dragging on the grid itself rather than a scrollbar... as Emily alluded to, we do that automatically if we determine that it is a touch device. Since we are not familiar with your POS device, I wonder if perhaps that issue is that we're unable to determine that it is a touch device? I that seems to be the case, I would recommend contacting support for help. In that case, we'd likely have to make a change to the product in order to help you.

Hello Emily and Scott,

Thank you for your responses.

I tested it with the Mobile Device Layout but it did not work. I think it may be the case where the POS device is not detected as a touch device. My current set up is an elo 1517L touch screen monitor running with Windows 7. The touch screen monitor itself uses mouse emulation to handle touch events.

I will contact support.
Thank you.
