How can I disable the horizontal scroll bar in a TDBGrid VCL control using C++ builder

I am using Embarcadero C++ builder 10.1 Berlin to write a C++ Windows application.
I wish to remove the horizontal scroll bar. How can I do this please.
With the TStringGrid control there is a Scrollbars property which can be set to do this so why not for a TDBGrid ??

Hi Roger,

That's something that I've never seen discussed before. :) Still, it seems that somebody had the idea before you did and there is a solution. :)

https://community.embarcadero.com/article/technical-articles/146-data/12804-removing-the-vertical-scrollbar-from-a-tdbgrid

The article shows how to disable the vertical scroll bar, but it should be a simple process to disable the horizontal bar instead.

Good Luck,
Kent

Hello Kent,
Thanks for the information. I'm using C++ builder 10.1 not RAD studio and don't have Delphi included. Is there no way to do this without Delphi ?

Oops. Looked at quickly and thought it was C++.

I'm reloading applications on my desktop and don't have C++ Builder available right now.

The short of it is

procedure TNoVertScrollDBGrid.Paint; 
begin  
  SetScrollRange(Self.Handle, SB_VERT, 0, 0, False);  
  inherited Paint; 
end;

Open in new window

Can be rewritten in C++ pretty easily. I don't recall how to get to the objects "real" Paint method, but let me look that up and get back to you. If you already know, you're a couple of steps up on me! :)
