Programmatic Scrolling

Updated on Mar 26, 2026

The DataGrid exposes methods for programmatic scrolling for a specific column, a specific row index, or a specific data item.

The following properties are supported:

• ScrollColumnIntoView(DataGridColumn column)—Attempts to asynchronously bring the specified DataGridColumn into view.
• ScrollIndexIntoView(int index)—Attempts to asynchronously bring the data item at the specified zero-based index into view.
• ScrollItemIntoView(object item)—Attempts to asynchronously bring the specified data item into view.

The following examples demonstrate how to use these methods in practice.

Create a RadDataGrid in XAML

XAML

<telerikGrid:RadDataGrid x:Name="DataGrid" Width="200" RowHeight="50" Height="80" />

Populate the DataGrid with Sample Data

C#

public class Data
{
	public string Country { get; set; }

	public int Population { get; set; }

	public string Capital { get; set; }
}

public MainPage()
{
	this.InitializeComponent();


	List<Data> dataList = new List<Data>
	{
		new Data { Country = "Argentina", Population = 41300000, Capital = "Buenos Aires" },
		new Data { Country = "France", Population = 65350000, Capital = "Paris" },
		new Data { Country = "Japan", Population = 26700000, Capital = "Tokyo" },
		new Data { Country = "Spain", Population = 47300000, Capital = "Madrid" },
		new Data { Country = "Germany", Population = 82000000, Capital = "Berlin" },
		new Data { Country = "Egypt", Population = 90000000, Capital = "Cairo" },
		new Data { Country = "Bulgaria", Population = 7500000, Capital = "Sofia" },
		new Data { Country = "Switzerland", Population = 8000000, Capital = "Bern" },
		new Data { Country = "Canada", Population = 33500000, Capital = "Ottawa" },
		new Data { Country = "Russia", Population = 143300000, Capital = "Moscow" },
		new Data { Country = "Denmark", Population = 5600000, Capital = "Copenhagen" },
	};
	this.DataGrid.ItemsSource = dataList;
}

Apply Programmatic Scrolling

C#

// Scroll (bring into View) to the third column of the DataGrid.
this.DataGrid.ScrollColumnIntoView(this.DataGrid.Columns[2]);

// Scroll (bring into View) to the twelfth row of the DataGrid.
this.DataGrid.ScrollIndexIntoView(11);

// Scroll (bring into View) to a specific data item from the data.
this.DataGrid.ScrollItemIntoView(dataList[6]);
