How do you prevent the header row from scrolling

[shawn slatunas]

I have searched the forums and haven't seen anything that explains this.  In the WPF RadGridView Scrolling example the grid has a static header row.  I tried this example, but my header row scrolls.  Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi shawn slatunas,

We are somewhat perplexed from you description. In our example the header row is scrolled right and left like the rest of the grid and this is the way it is supposed to be.

The header row is supposed to scroll horizontally with everything else in sync. Each header cell will always stay on top of its column. We really can't understand what do you mean by the term "static header row".

In case you are talking about the header cells resizing when you scroll down -- this is caused because the column widths are dynamic. When you are scrolling down and you reach a cell with a lot of content, then the respective column will automatically grow/shrink in width in order to accommodate the entire cell content. Maybe you are confusing this with scrolling?

Anyway, you can easily set fixed widths for each column and then this will not happen anymore.

In case you are talking about something entirely different, please elaborate. What do you mean with the term "static header row". Can you explain this. Even better, you can open a separate support ticket. and in case you have a sample project, send it to us in the support ticket. Then explain what is wrong and how do you expect it to be.

Thanks in advance. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

I am sorry for the confusion.  I meant vertical scrolling, not the horizontal scrolling.  The example I referred to the header row doesn't scroll vertically.  I am looking for this in my application.  I however, can't find an example of how to accomplish this.

Hi shawn slatunas,

Probably you have placed your grid inside an external ScrollViewer. That is why the entire grid is scrolled up and down.

If you rely on the grid's vertical scroller -- then the header row will always stay visible.

I hope this helps.

Hi Rossen,
I have some requirements in which I have had to put my grid inside a external scrollviewer. Now when I am scrolling the header is also lost. Is there any way in which I can keep the header fixed inside the scrollviewer. thanks in Advance.

Hi Rossen ,

I am developing my window with radgridview. But grid headers also scrolling while scrollbar scrolling. I need a proper solution for how to prevent the header to scroll?

Hi Manikandan,

Thank you for the provided image. 

When the RadGridView has scrolled vertically, the headers of the column will not move and will always be at the top. This is the default behavior. Did you mean to say in your post that the RadGridView is scrolled horizontally? If this is the case, the RadGridView provide functionality to freeze its columns. You can read more about this feature in the Frozen Columns help article. If this is not the case, can you confirm that when you scroll the content of the RadGridView the header row disappears from the viewport? If yes, which version of our controls are you referencing in your project and if you are using NoXAML binaries which theme is applied?
