5. Windows Forms Datagrid

5.60 How do I programmatically scroll the datagrid to a particular row?

The DataGrid has a protected GridVScrolled member that can be used to scroll the grid. To use it, you can derive from DataGrid and add a ScrollToRow method. Here is a code snippet.

Public Class MyDataGrid

Inherits DataGrid

Sub ScrollToRow(ByVal row As Integer)

If Not Me.DataSource Is Nothing Then

Me.GridVScrolled(Me, New ScrollEventArgs(ScrollEventType.LargeIncrement, row))

End If

End Sub

End Class
