Access ScrollView properties of a DataGrid in WPF

Question

Is it possible to access the horizontal offset, which I can\'t find in the property list of the datagrid ?

Thanks

Answer 1

Just name the base control (e.g. ListView) in XAML and access it by name in the code behind.

Answer 2

In XAML

 <DataGrid Name="dataGrid1" ..... />

If you want to access to the HorizontalOffset you need to access to the ScrollViewer contained inside the Datagrid

one possible method to access the ScrollViewer is

for (int i = 0; i < VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(dataGrid1); i++)
{
       if (VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(dataGrid1, i) is ScrollViewer)
    {
              ScrollViewer scroll =
        (ScrollViewer)(VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(dataGrid1, i));
                           Console.WriteLine(scroll.HorizontalOffset);
    }
}

Note that scroll.HorizontalOffset is read-only
