Scroll WPF Listview to specific line

Question

WPF, Browserlike app.
I got one page containing a ListView. After calling a PageFunction I add a line to the ListView, and want to scroll the new line into view:

Answer 1

Thanks for that last tip Sam. I had a dialog which opened, meaning my grid lost focus every time the dialog closed. I use this:

if(currentRow >= 0 && currentRow < lstGrid.Items.Count) {
    lstGrid.SelectedIndex = currentRow;
    lstGrid.ScrollIntoView(lstGrid.SelectedItem);
    if(shouldFocusGrid) {
        ListViewItem item = lstGrid.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(lstGrid.SelectedItem) as ListViewItem;
        item.Focus();
    }
} else if(shouldFocusGrid) {
    lstGrid.Focus();
}

Answer 2

In my project i need to display the selected index line from the listview to the user so i assigned the selected item to ListView control. This code will scroll the scrollbar and display the selected item.

BooleanListView.ScrollIntoView(BooleanListView.SelectedItem);

OR

var listView = BooleanListView; listView.SelectedItem = listView.Items.GetItemAt(BooleanListView.SelectedIndex); listView.ScrollIntoView(listView.Items[0]); listView.ScrollIntoView(listView.SelectedItem);

Answer 3

I made some changes to Sam's answer. Note that I wanted to scroll to the last line. Unfortunately the ListView sometiems just displayed the last line (even when there were e.g. 100 lines above it), so this is how I fixed that:

    public void ScrollToLastItem()
    {
        if (_mainViewModel.DisplayedList.Count > 0)
        {
            var listView = myListView;
            listView.SelectedItem = listView.Items.GetItemAt(_mainViewModel.DisplayedList.Count - 1);
            listView.ScrollIntoView(listView.Items[0]);
            listView.ScrollIntoView(listView.SelectedItem);
            //item.Focus();
        }
    }

Cheers

Try this

private void OnSelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            ScrollViewer scrollViewer = GetScrollViewer(lstVw) as ScrollViewer;
            scrollViewer.ScrollToHorizontalOffset(dataRowToFocus.RowIndex);
            if (dataRowToFocus.RowIndex < 2)
                lstVw.ScrollIntoView((Entity)lstVw.Items[0]);
            else
                lstVw.ScrollIntoView(e.AddedItems[0]);
        } 

 public static DependencyObject GetScrollViewer(DependencyObject o)
        {
            if (o is ScrollViewer)
            { return o; }

            for (int i = 0; i < VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(o); i++)
            {
                var child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(o, i);

                var result = GetScrollViewer(child);
                if (result == null)
                {
                    continue;
                }
                else
                {
                    return result;
                }
            }
            return null;
        } 

private void Focus()
{
 lstVw.SelectedIndex = dataRowToFocus.RowIndex;
 lstVw.SelectedItem = (Entity)dataRowToFocus.Row;

 ListViewItem lvi = (ListViewItem)lstVw.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(lstVw.SelectedItem);
ContentPresenter contentPresenter = FindVisualChild<ContentPresenter>(lvi);
contentPresenter.Focus();
contentPresenter.BringIntoView();

}

Answer 5

Someone told me an even better way to scroll to a specific line, which is easy and works like charm.
In short:

public void ScrollToLastItem()
{
  lv.SelectedItem = lv.Items.GetItemAt(rows.Count - 1);
  lv.ScrollIntoView(lv.SelectedItem);
  ListViewItem item = lv.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(lv.SelectedItem) as ListViewItem;
  item.Focus();
}

If you just want to show and focus the last item after creating a new data item, this method is maybe better. Compare to ScrollIntoView, ScrollToEnd of ScrollViewer is in my tests more reliable. In some tests using ScrollIntoView method of ListView like above failed and i don't know reason. But using ScrollViewer to scroll to last one can work.

void FocusLastOne(ListView lsv)
{
   ObservableCollection<object> items= sender as ObservableCollection<object>;

   Decorator d = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(lsv, 0) as Decorator;
   ScrollViewer v = d.Child as ScrollViewer;
   v.ScrollToEnd();

   lsv.SelectedItem = lsv.Items.GetItemAt(items.Count - 1);
   ListViewItem lvi = lsv.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(items.Count - 1) as ListViewItem;
   lvi.Focus();
}
