Display ScrollViewer Inside the Diagram
Updated on Sep 24, 2025
This tutorial describes how to display the RadDiagram built-in ScrollViewer.
For the purpose of this tutorial we'll examine the following simple Diagramming structure:
XAML
<Grid Height="350" Width="525">
<telerik:RadDiagram x:Name="xDiagram">
<telerik:RadDiagramShape x:Name="shape1" Position="20,20" Content="Shape 1" />
<telerik:RadDiagramShape x:Name="shape2" Position="520,520" Content="Shape 2" />
<telerik:RadDiagramConnection Source="{Binding ElementName=shape1}"
Target="{Binding ElementName=shape2}" />
</telerik:RadDiagram>
</Grid> As the Grid hosting our RadDiagram has a limited size, we can't see the second shape in the viewport:
In such scenarios it's useful to use the RadDiagram built-in ScrollViewer, which you can display to get a better view of the area described by the position and size of your RadDiagramItems.
In order to enable the horizontal and/or vertical ScrollBar you need to add the following attribute(s) to the RadDiagram declaration:
XAML
<telerik:RadDiagram Grid.Row="1" x:Name="xDiagram"
ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible">
...
</telerik:RadDiagram> The same operation can be done in code-behind as well:
C#
private void EnableScrollBars()
{
ScrollViewer.SetHorizontalScrollBarVisibility(xDiagram, ScrollBarVisibility.Visible);
ScrollViewer.SetVerticalScrollBarVisibility(xDiagram, ScrollBarVisibility.Visible);
}
