Answer 1

In my case, (re)sorting the grid helped. Try sth like this:

 if (gridName.SortedColumn == null)
   gridName.Sort(gridNameColumns[columnName],ListSortDirection.Ascending);
 else
 {
    ListSortDirection dir;
    if (gridName.SortOrder == SortOrder.Descending) 
       dir = ListSortDirection.Descending;
    else dir = ListSortDirection.Ascending;

    gridName.Sort(gridName.SortedColumn, dir);
 }

Try subclassing the DataGridView and handling the VerticalScrollBar's VisibleChanged event. You should be able to set the Visible property to True in there, overriding the default behaviour.

Something like this, I think...

public class SubclassedDataGridView : DataGridView
    {
        public SubclassedDataGridView (): base()
        {
            VerticalScrollBar.VisibleChanged += new EventHandler(VerticalScrollBar_VisibleChanged);
        }

        void VerticalScrollBar_VisibleChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            VerticalScrollBar.Visible = true;
        }
     }

One of the possibility is to trigger the event of when the scrollbar is disapearing so you can prevent the event and stop it.
