# Scrolling

**RadVirtualGrid** allows three types of scroll modes:

* **Smooth:** Sets scrolling by pixel, meaning that an item can be partially visible.

* **Discrete:** Defines scrolling by only one item at a time.

* **Deferred:** Does not cause GUI updates until the user finishes the scrolling operation.

The **RadVirtualGrid.UseScrollBarsInHierarchy** property is responsible for defining whether vertical scrollbars will appear for the inner child views. By default the property is set to *false*.
