Contents of WPF Web Browser control are overflowing the boundries of parent Data Grid Control

Tayyab hussain 0

I am using Web Browser control in a WPF project. My development environment is Windows10 DontNet 6.0.

HTML contents are coming nicely in Web Browser control. However, when I scroll down the data grid control, the contents in web browser are overflowing the boundries (both top and bottom) and overlapping the contents of other controls.

I tried multiple things like setting height, width, Z-Index etc. but nothing is working.

I tried using WebView2 browser control but it is also depicting the same behaviour.

Any ideas, how can i restrict the contents of web browser within its parent data grid control or what other alternates I can use those are also compatible with dotnet 6.0 and can show HTML contents nicely.

Hi,@Tayyab hussain. Welcome to Microsoft Q&A.

You could try the following steps to see if they help you.

1.Did you use max-height or max-width to set the height and width? If not, you could try it. Set MaxHeight or MaxWidth properties on your Web Browser control to limit its size. This prevents it from expanding beyond a certain point.

<WebBrowser Name="myWebBrowser" MaxHeight="300" />

2.Ensure that your DataGrid is wrapped inside a ScrollView or ScrollViewer. This enables scrolling within a confined area and prevents controls from overlapping when scrolling.

<ScrollViewer> <DataGrid Name="myDataGrid" /> </ScrollViewer>

3.Container Controls for Web Browser Content: If your HTML content is dynamic, consider placing the Web Browser control within a container (like a StackPanel or another Grid) and adjusting the container's properties to control the layout.

<StackPanel> <WebBrowser Name="myWebBrowser" /> </StackPanel>

4.Set Row/Column Definitions: If you are using a Grid, define rows and columns explicitly, and set appropriate row/column values for your controls. This helps in organizing the layout and avoiding overlap. If the Web Browser control is spanning multiple rows or columns in the Data Grid, ensure that its height and width are set appropriately to prevent overflow.

<Grid> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />  </Grid.RowDefinitions>  <WebBrowser Name="myWebBrowser" Grid.Row="1" /> </Grid> ```If the problem persists, please feel free to let me know. The problem would be better solved if more details were described (steps, and complete sample code to reproduce the problem without privacy).
