How to scroll and select the record programmatically in WPF DataGrid (SfDataGrid)?
2 mins read
You can scroll to record programmatically using ScrollInView method by passing the row index of the record in WPF DataGrid (SfDataGrid). You can get the row index of the record by using ResolveToRowIndex extension method present in Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Grid.Helpers.
You can select the record programmatically by setting SelectedItem property or by calling MoveCurrentTo method of SfDataGrid.View.
In the below code, data grid scrolled and selected in loaded event.
using Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Grid.Helpers;
this.dataGrid.Loaded += DataGrid_Loaded;
private void DataGrid_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var selectedItem = (this.DataContext as Viewmodel).SelectedItem;
var rowindex = this.dataGrid.ResolveToRowIndex(selectedItem);
var columnindex = this.dataGrid.ResolveToStartColumnIndex();
//Make the row in to available on the view.
this.dataGrid.ScrollInView(new RowColumnIndex(rowindex, columnindex));
//to set the found row as current row
this.dataGrid.View.MoveCurrentTo(selectedItem);
}
