How to get the X and Y coordinates when interacting with SfDataGrid?

1 min read

You can get the get the X and Y coordinates when interacting with Xamarin.Forms DataGrid by using SfDataGrid.RowColumnIndexToPoint method. You need to pass the RowColumnIndex for obtaining the coordinates.

You can get these coordinates in anywhere while interacting with SfDataGrid. Refer the below code example in which the X and Y coordinates are obtained by passing the RowColumnIndex in GridTapped, GridDoubleTapped and GridLongPressed events.

    <syncfusion:SfDataGrid x:Name="datagrid"
                           AutoGenerateColumns="True"
                           ColumnSizer="Star"
                           ItemsSource="{Binding OrdersInfo}"
                           GridTapped="Datagrid_GridTapped"
                           GridDoubleTapped="Datagrid_GridDoubleTapped"
                           GridLongPressed="Datagrid_GridLongPressed"/>    
  </ContentPage.Content>

private void Datagrid_GridLongPressed(object sender, Syncfusion.SfDataGrid.XForms.GridLongPressedEventsArgs e)
        {
            Point point = datagrid.RowColumnIndexToPoint(e.RowColumnindex);
            double xCoordinate = point.X;
            double yCoordinate = point.Y;
        }
        private void Datagrid_GridDoubleTapped(object sender, Syncfusion.SfDataGrid.XForms.GridDoubleTappedEventsArgs e)
        {
            Point point = datagrid.RowColumnIndexToPoint(e.RowColumnIndex);
            double xCoordinate = point.X;
            double yCoordinate = point.Y;
        }
        private void Datagrid_GridTapped(object sender, Syncfusion.SfDataGrid.XForms.GridTappedEventsArgs e)
        {
            Point point = datagrid.RowColumnIndexToPoint(e.RowColumnindex);
            double xCoordinate = point.X;
            double yCoordinate = point.Y;
        }

Note: Similarly, you can also get the RowColumnIndex based on the touch points using the SfDataGrid.PointToCellRowColumnIndex method.
