Does Grid scrolling set to virtual support kinetic scrolling?

[Peter]

Hi, I Have just started looking at the Kendo grid for the first time. I am looking for a (HTML5) grid that I can use for both desktop web and mobile (hyrib) applications.

I notice the grid has the scrolling mode of virtual. I have taken one of the online examples, set the scrolling to virtual, and also tried setting the mobile property to true, and 'tablet', however it does not appear to do the "kinetic " type of scrolling, at least not when I am running it in the desktop browser (Chrome) . 

....when I run an other mobile example, eg the endless-scrolling.html mobile example, this *does* exhibit the kinetic scrolling when run on my desktop Chrome, so I thought the grid would too...

So, my main question is, can the grid use the mobile type of kinetic / friction scrolling when being (at least when being run on a mobile device?)

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions

HI have now tried this on a (Nexus) tablet, so my question has been answered, the grid surely did do into using the kinetic scrolling

Hello Peter,

Indeed, the Grid does not support kinetic scrolling at this point. I would suggest submitting this as a feature request on our feedback portal.

Hi Alexander, thank you for that reply. I posted the original question before I actually tried the grid on a mobile device (as I didn't have one on hand) I am only just starting to look at the grid, so I have a bit of learning to do yet (including scrolling etc)

It is funny you should say it does not support the kinetic scroll, as when I use the grid on a tablet (I have tried on both a Nexus and a HP windows tab), the grid seems to magically have the kinetic scrolling. I am not sure where this comes from, perhaps it is the device itself that applies the kinetic scroll to anything scrollable, so that component itself does not need to do anything special?

For example, even the online demos exhibit this behavior.

Perhaps you meant we can't get the kinetic scroll on a device (eg desktop PC) that does not have it "natively"?

Cheers

Hi Peter,

I apologize if my answer was misleading. Kinetic scrolling is supported on mobile devices when regular scrolling is used. Virtual scrolling however, relies on complicated calculations and does not support kinetic scrolling at this point.

Hi Alexander, thank you very much for this clarification. Yes I now see the difference, if I have virtual scrolling enabled, and a large amount of data (e.g. 2000000 rows as in you one of your examples) we no longer have kinetic scrolling on Mobile

Cheers
