I'm simply trying to keep the focus at the bottom of the datagrid by default and especially when new rows are added. This is what I'm currently seeing now: https://prnt.sc/mcZGCqRbq0zg

I don't know if my application is AddNewRowSupport enabled or not

When a new row is added to the SF datagrid he want the scrollbar at the bottom . So this way the user don't need to scroll down to see new rows added

// using a standard datagrid we are able to set the scrollbar to the bottom

dataGridViewInfo.FirstDisplayedScrollingRowIndex = dataGridViewInfo.RowCount - 1;

Hi Cheatcountry / bob,Your requirement to scroll to last data row when adding new row in SfDataGrid can be achieved by customize the CollectionChanged event in SfDataGrid.View. Please refer the below code snippet, 




sfDataGrid1.View.Records.CollectionChanged += OnCollectionChanged; 
 
private void OnCollectionChanged(object sender, System.Collections.Specialized.NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e) 
{ 
            //here scroll to a last record programmatically while new row added in SfDatGrid 
            if (e.Action == System.Collections.Specialized.NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Add) 
            {                
                this.sfDataGrid1.BeginInvoke(new Action(() => 
                { 
                    //here get the last rowindex of SfDataGrid 
                    var lastRowIndex = this.sfDataGrid1.TableControl.ResolveToRowIndex(sfDataGrid1.View.Records.Count);                     
                    //scroll to a last record in DataGrid using the SfDataGrid.TableControl.ScrollRows.ScrollInView 
                    this.sfDataGrid1.TableControl.ScrollRows.ScrollInView(lastRowIndex); 
                    this.sfDataGrid1.TableControl.UpdateScrollBars(); 
 
                })); 
            } 
}

Yes this is exactly what I mean. I was trying to explain it several times but not well enough I guess that when a new item is added to the datarow the focus stays at the items at the top of the datagrid but I want to keep the focus at the bottom of the datagrid instead. I also know how to do it with a normal datagrid but trying to ask syncfusion how to do it with their datagrid
