Auto-scroll to a column in a FrozenColumnCount grid?

[John Fetherolf]

I am working on an internal payroll application.  I have a grid with essentially 25 columns.  The first column is frozen and contains a row description of different pay types.  The other 24 are basically semi-monthly pay periods in a pay plan.  I want to "auto-scroll" the grid horizontally to the current pay period column (it varies when reloading plans ... sometime it may be column #1 ... sometimes #13 ... etc).  If anyone could point me to an example of how to accomplish this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Sorry for the bump, but I was really hoping someone here could help me with this feature.  I have tried everything I could think of but no luck so far...

Thanks

Hi John,

To achieve your goal you could try setting fixed widths to your columns and then depending the position of current pay period column move the horizontal scroll. You could use the code snippet below as a starting point in achieving the desired functionality:

var frozenCont = document.getElementById('RadGrid1_Frozen');
var columnWidth = 200;
function scrollToMonth (index)
{
  frozenCont.scrollLeft = index * columnWidth;
}

Kind regards,

Pavlina,

Thanks for the reply and for the help.  This does indeed work. 

Actually I tried it this way first but didn't notice a typo in my javascript ... dang it :)
