How to get reference to the VisualContainer of a SfDataGrid?


I follow this ticket  #  142708 to update the SfListView content,  reserving the current view. It works perfect.

How can i achieve the same thing with SfDataGrid?

SfDataGridHeHelpers doesn't have GetVisualContainer as SfListView does.

Thank you.

Hi Tung,

 
Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.

We have prepared sample for your reported query “How to get VisualContainer of SfDataGrid”. Please follow the below code snippet and sample.


 
[.CS] 
double yPosition; 
        ExtendedScrollView ScrollView; 
        AndroidScrollView androidScrollView; 
        public MainPage() 
        { 
            InitializeComponent(); 
           
            dataGrid.GridLoaded += DataGrid_GridLoaded; 
        } 
 
        private async void DataGrid_GridLoaded(object sender, GridLoadedEventArgs e) 
        { 
            var container =(VisualContainer) dataGrid.GetType().GetProperty("VisualContainer", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).GetValue(dataGrid); 
 
            if (Device.RuntimePlatform == Device.Android) 
            { 
                androidScrollView = (AndroidScrollView)container.GetType().GetRuntimeProperties().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "AndroidScrollOwner").GetValue(container); 
            } 
            else 
            { 
                ScrollView = (ExtendedScrollView)container.GetType().GetRuntimeProperties().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "ScrollOwner").GetValue(container); 
            } 
        } 
 
        private void Button_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e) 
        { 
            if (Device.RuntimePlatform == Device.Android) 
            { 
                yPosition = androidScrollView.ScrollY; 
            } 
            else 
            { 
                yPosition = ScrollView.ScrollY; 
            }    
        } 
 
        private async void Button_Clicked_1(object sender, EventArgs e) 
        { 
            if (Device.RuntimePlatform == Device.Android) 
            { 
                await (androidScrollView as ExtScrollViewer).ScrollToAsync(0, yPosition,false); 
            } 
            else 
            { 
                await (ScrollView as ScrollView).ScrollToAsync(0, yPosition,false); 
            } 
        }

Thank you for the sample,

It works fine at my end. 

Do you plan to add this function to the Helper to remove all complexity with reflection ?
