Overview

RadDataGrid exposes methods for programatic scrolling to a specific column, a specific row or a specific data item:

• ScrollColumnIntoView(DataGridColumn column): Attempts to bring the specified DataGridColumn into View asynchronously.
• ScrollIndexIntoView(int index): Attempts to bring the data item at the specified zero-based index into View asynchronously.
• ScrollItemIntoView(object item): Attempts to bring the specified data item into View asynchronously.

Example

This example shows how to use these methods in practice:

First, create a RadDataGrid instance:

<telerikGrid:RadDataGrid x:Name="DataGrid" Width="200" RowHeight="50" Height="80" />

Then, fill it with data:

List<Data> dataList = new List<Data>
{
    new Data { Country = "Argentina", Population = 41300000, Capital = "Buenos Aires" },
    new Data { Country = "France", Population = 65350000, Capital = "Paris" },
    new Data { Country = "Japan", Population = 26700000, Capital = "Tokyo" },
    new Data { Country = "Spain", Population = 47300000, Capital = "Madrid" },
    new Data { Country = "Germany", Population = 82000000, Capital = "Berlin" },
    new Data { Country = "Egypt", Population = 90000000, Capital = "Cairo" },
    new Data { Country = "Bulgaria", Population = 7500000, Capital = "Sofia" },
    new Data { Country = "Switzerland", Population = 8000000, Capital = "Bern" },
    new Data { Country = "Canada", Population = 33500000, Capital = "Ottawa" },
    new Data { Country = "Russia", Population = 143300000, Capital = "Moscow" },
    new Data { Country = "Denmark", Population = 5600000, Capital = "Copenhagen" },
};
DataGrid.ItemsSource = dataList;

Where Data is the business model:

public class Data
{
    public string Country { get; set; }

    public int Population { get; set; }

    public string Capital { get; set; }
}

Finally, we are ready to do some programmatic scrolling:

• In the first scenario we want to scroll(bring into View) to the third column of our DataGrid.

  DataGrid.ScrollColumnIntoView(DataGrid.Columns[2]);
  

• In the second scenario we want to scroll(bring into View) to the twelfth row of our DataGrid.

  DataGrid.ScrollIndexIntoView(11);
  

• In the last scenario we want to scroll(bring into View) to a specific data item from our data.

  DataGrid.ScrollItemIntoView(dataList[6]);
