WPF Datagrid set selected row

Question

How do I use the Datagrid.SelectedItem to select a row programmatically?

Do I first have to create a IEnumerable of DataGridRow

Answer 1

I have changed the code of serge_gubenko and it works better

for (int i = 0; i < dataGrid.Items.Count; i++)
{
    string txt = searchTxt.Text;
    dataGrid.ScrollIntoView(dataGrid.Items[i]);
    DataGridRow row = (DataGridRow)dataGrid.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(i);
    TextBlock cellContent = dataGrid.Columns[1].GetCellContent(row) as TextBlock;
    if (cellContent != null && cellContent.Text.ToLower().Equals(txt.ToLower()))
    {
        object item = dataGrid.Items[i];
        dataGrid.SelectedItem = item;
        dataGrid.ScrollIntoView(item);
        row.MoveFocus(new TraversalRequest(FocusNavigationDirection.Next));
        break;
    }
}
