Hi Issam,

 

Thank you for using Syncfusion Products.

 

Yes the SfDataGrid support Async data loading. We have prepared the sample for loading datas by using async and await concept with BusyIndicator and please find the sample under the following location,

We already have a kb for the async and await concept and please find the kb links as follows,

just perfect like expected :)

one little thing .
the WPF Exteneded Toolkit has that very cool visual effect when scrolling the grid

like you can see, when scrolling  the bottom rows fadein and become visible slowly wich give a very good effect .

it would be awesome if the sfdatagrid could do the same thing .

again any guidance is more than welcome

anyway, thanks a lot !

Hi Issam,

 

Thank you for the update.

 

We regret to inform you that, our SfDataGrid does not having animated scrolling support like Xceed DataGrid having.

Hi Issam,

 

Thank you for the update.

 

We have analyzed your query. In our SfDataGrid we are reusing the rows when scrolling the grid and it is not possible to do fading the rows at that time. We have Incremental loading concept to load the large amount of datas, and it allows you to load a subset of data to datagrid sequentially. It provides support for fast and fluid scrolling and loading a huge set of data. Could you please use this approach whether it meet your requirement?

Hi,

i would probably use syncfusion datagrid for best performance, but man, this fading rows effect is so cool :) you know what i mean right ;)

okay , if it's not possible to do that directly with rows ,can we fake it ?

if we put a border ontop of the datagrid with some gradient transparent and hittest disabled,
then, animate the gradient on datagrid scroll .

what do you think about this approch ?
any suggestions for scroll events i can use please ?

Hi Issam,

 

Thank you for the update.

 

We have analyzed your query. You can use ScrollRows.Changed event when we vertically scrolling the SfDataGrid.

 

Code Snippet [C#]:

 

using Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Grid.Helpers;

 

this.datagrid.Loaded += datagrid_Loaded;

 

void datagrid_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

    var visualContainer = this.datagrid.GetVisualContainer();

    visualContainer.ScrollRows.Changed += ScrollRows_Changed;

}

 

void ScrollRows_Changed(object sender, Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.ScrollAxis.ScrollChangedEventArgs e)

{

       //Implement your code here

}

 

Please let us know if you need further assistance.
