Better ListView custom scroll bar size

Better ListView 3.7.0 contains two new properties that allow you to set custom horizontal and vertical scroll bar sizes:

• HScrollBarWidth
• VScrollBarHeight

Of course, you can set these custom sizes in design-time as well as in run-time.

Larger scroll bars are practical on modern touch-enabled devices with high resolution screens. The default scroll bar size (17 pixels) may be too small and you may want to make it just large enough for your index finger.

This features works in both Better ListView and Better ListView Express.

Items with custom height

Items with variable heights were possible in recent versions of Better ListView as well, but this adjustment was limited to heights which are multiples of text line height.

We have introduced a BetterListViewItem.CustomHeight property, which is 0 by default.

Every item has some minimum size (defined by the font and image) but it can get arbitrarily larger. The following formula explains how item height is measured in Better ListView:

height = max(minimum height, image height, text height, custom height)

Setting minimum height for all items is possible through layout properties and the latter is defined by the item itself.
