Scrolling

Updated on Sep 24, 2025

If the RadListDataItems cannot fit in the pop up, a vertical scroll bar appears so that they can be scrolled and later selected. RadListControl provides three scrolling modes that can be used depending on user preferences: Discrete, Smooth and Deferred. It is controlled by the ScrollMode property.

ScrollModeDescriptionScrolling Behavior
DiscreteDefines scrolling by only one item at a time.WinForms RadListControl Discrete ScrollMode
SmoothSets scrolling by pixel, meaning that an item can be partially visible.WinForms RadListControl Smooth ScrollMode
DeferredDoes not cause GUI updates until the user finishes the scrolling operation.WinForms RadListControl Deferred ScrollMode

KineticScrolling

This feature ensures that the control is ready for modern touch-screen applications. It can be attached by simply setting the EnableKineticScrolling property to true.

Programmatically Scrolling

The RadListControl.ListElement provides out of the box functionality for programmatically scrolling its content. The available methods are:

  • ScrollToItem: Scrolls to a specific item.

  • ScrollToActiveItem: Scrolls to the active item if it is not null and if it is not fully visible.
