Hi

 This is probably a simple answer so hope you can help.

I have built 1 table view and 1 3d card view.

I want to be able to (in code) set the index of the item to focus and have it brought in to view so the user can see the item.

I can set the item by: GRID.SelectedIndex = 50 and when I scroll to the item, it is highlighted.  What I need is for when I set the index, for the item to scroll in to view so that the user can see the card and not have to scroll to the item.

:-(

Hi,

maybe you can use GRID.BringItemIntoView(GRID.SelectedItem) after you set the GRID.SelectedIndex.

HTH.

many thanks, this works for a large collection of cards but when I have 8 cards all displayed on screen and I set the index to the last card, it does not bring the card in to focus.

For example, cards 1-8 are displayed and card 1 has focus.  I set index to 7 (count -1) so I would expect the 8th card to be given focus but card 1 still has the focus eventhough the index is no longer 1.

Any ideas?

About the SelectedIndex behavior, I also encounter the problem you have. Sometimes, when I set the SelectedIndex, it got focus and sometimes it didn't. I'm still not sure whether this is a bug in my code or DataGridControl.

A workaround I can think of it is to get the Xceed.Wpf.DataGrid.DataRow of current selected item and then call Focus() on it. I haven't try this though. I'll try this as soon as I have time.

If you are refering to the card that is in the "front" in the 3D Cardflow View, then you need to set the CurrentItem to the desired card in order for it to appear in the front/center.

Hi Jenny,

what is the difference between CurrentItem and SelectedItem? I'm still not clear about them. Further, how are we supposed to do with them when dealing with current row's focus since I sometimes see it works and the other times not at all (I meant both for TableView and CardView)?

Thanks!

The current item is the item that has the focus. The selected items are the items that are selected. The current item can also be the selected item or one of the selected items.

If you want to set the focus on a row, then what you really want to do is set that item as the current item and not the selected item.

So, I figure out that to focus a specific row based on a specific row index in the DataGridControl and also bring the focused row to be viewable, I'll do the following:

• set the SelectedIndex to a specific row index I want; this also means the SelectedItem will be changed accordingly
• set the CurrentItem based on SelectedItem
• call the BringItemIntoView() with CurrentItem as its parameter

Is this correct?

Thanks!

Yes. That should be correct. Is it not doing what you are expecting it to?

I think it is so far working the way it should be. I'll let you know if it didn't work as expected.

Thanks!
