Programmatically Scrolling Grid

[Jorge Gonzalez]

Hello,

   I was trying to figure out how to programmatically scroll the grid but the documentation on this site and on the Net did not help much. I finally figured it out. I have this code in the TextChanged event of a textbox so when the user types in some text this code is executed and the first line in the grid that contains the text in the textbox is scrolled too.

Here's my solution:

int numRows = gridname.Items.Count;

 for (int i = 0; i < numRows; i++)

    if (gridname.Items[i].ToString().Contains(<Text to look for goes in here>)

      {

         this.gridname.ScrollIntoView(gridname.Items[i]);

         break;

      }

My grid only contains 1 column.

Hello Jorge Gonzalez,

You may also find the Search as You Type example appealing for your task. You can find it at http://demos.telerik.com/wpf/ -> GridView -> Filtering -> Search as You Type.

Thanks Ross,

    I actually downloaded this example or similar example from your site yesterday or the day before. It wasn't quite what I was looking for for I needed to do but I will use it latter on.

Hello,

    You can also do a search for text in the grid that begins with something using StartsWith:

int numRows = gridname.Items.Count;

 for (int i = 0; i < numRows; i++)

    if (gridname.Items[i].ToString().StartsWith(<Text to look for goes in here>)

      {

         this.gridname.ScrollIntoView(gridname.Items[i]);

         break;

      }
