Row Details vs Horizontal Scrolling

[StanLoganParticipant]

Hello,

I have a situation where I may need around 150 columns in the grid. I know that with this many columns, horizontal scrolling will be slow, especially in IE.

My question is, if I reduce the number of columns somewhat, and display the other information like the ‘Row Details’ example, will horizontal scrolling performance be improved, or will it be the same either way?

Thanks!
Stan

Hello Stan,

About the described case, we recommend using horizontal scrollbar.
Because each column will be rendering at the moment when it appears.
Please, take a look at this example:

Hi Hristo,

Thanks for the response.

The example performs well, but we have had some issues both in IE and on iPad/Android with only 75 columns. There must be something else going on. When I get to implementing the larger grids, I will probably have questions on what we are doing wrong

Thanks again,
Stan

Could you describe with little more information about this issue?

Hi Hristo,

I will do that as soon as possible. I have some work to do to be able to provide an example due to the way we are emitting the grid configuration code. I will try to get that done this week.

Here is more basic info: We are currently using jQWidgets version 4.1.2. The performance issue that we saw was not terrible, but bad enough to be reported by our QA staff. A grid had ~75 columns, and horizontal scrolling was sluggish and jerky in IE11 on the desktop, and in Chrome on iOS and Android.

More details to follow when I get the example ready.

Thanks!
Stan
