Programmatically Scroll GridView Control

I have an AJAX enabled web form with several data-filled GridView controls. The users accessing this web app will navigate the site via touch-screen monitors (i.e.: no mouse). As a result, I need an easy way for them to scroll the GridViews when the data is not visible. I want them to click on a button, which will then accordingly scroll the grid up or down. I have tried all the various combinations of the suggestions that I could find:

GridView.Rows(20).RowState = DataControlRowState.Selected

and

GridView.Rows(20).Focus()

and

GridView.SelectedIndex = 20

and

'Set focus to a hidden button control (column)
GridView.SelectedRow.Cells(5).Focus()

If I could set focus to a particular row, I think it should scroll to show that row. This would be fine, but nothing seems to work. Anyone have any suggestions on how I could programatically scroll a GridView control?

Thanks!

Hi AxeRose,

Did you find any solution for this problem?

I have asimilar purpose and meantime I don't have no idea, how to do this.

No, I never found a solution. I ended up using Paging instead -- which works fine for my situation.

Good luck!

I do not know if this works (and probably only in IE or in everything but IE ) but there is a javascript function called scrollIntoView that you could try. Just a suggestion.

You can use the JavaScript function: scrollTo(...)

<script type="text/javascript">
var prm = Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance();

prm.add_beginRequest(beginRequest);

function beginRequest()
{
prm._scrollPosition = null;
}
</script>
