Position of a message

[Hemesh]

Hello,

How can i get position of a message in the whole conversation of chat UI. So that i will be able to auto scroll the chat to that location. So that the particular msg can be highlighted.

Thanks.

Hi Hemesh,

You can use the following approach for this (the Items collection of the view element contains all messages):

private void RadButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var messageData = radChat1.ChatElement.MessagesViewElement.Items[4];
    var textMessage = messageData.Message as ChatTextMessage;
    radChat1.ChatElement.MessagesViewElement.Scroller.ScrollToItem(messageData);
}

I hope this helps. Should you have any other questions, do not hesitate to ask.
