Datatable horizontal scroll

Webix JS
1

I would like to NOT show the horizontal scroll bar area at all unless/until the size of the div is reduced to the point where it should “kick in”.

See http://webix.com/snippet/e7b0676f

Is there a way to do this?

Hello,

For such cases Webix offers the CustomScroll in its PRO version. It shows on hovering the datatable when it is required: http://webix.com/snippet/d8e8a06a

If you use Webix GPL, you need to calculate width required by columns, compare it with actual Datatable width and switch on and off the scrollX property: http://webix.com/snippet/a14b6972

Brilliant. The CustomScroll is great. Follow-up question - is there a way to use autowidth with this, or is the maxWidth approach I used a must?

Thank you Helga

You can as well omit width or maxWidth setting to size the datatable to container or use any fixed width.
