| 18 | +## Description |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +I want to programmatically scroll a column into view in the DataGrid for MAUI. The `ScrollItemIntoView` method appears to scroll rows into view but does not provide functionality for columns. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +This knowledge base article also answers the following questions: |
| 23 | +- How can I scroll to a specific column programmatically in MAUI DataGrid? |
| 24 | +- Is there a way to scroll columns into view using reflection? |
| 25 | +- How do I use the `ScrollColumnIntoView` method in MAUI DataGrid? |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +## Solution |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +Use the internal `ScrollColumnIntoView` method via reflection. Below is an example implementation triggered by a button click. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +1. Access the column you want to scroll into view from the `Columns` collection. |
| 32 | +2. Use reflection to access the internal `ScrollColumnIntoView` method. |
| 33 | +3. Invoke the method using the required column as an argument. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +```csharp |
| 36 | +private void Button_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e) |
| 37 | +{ |
| 38 | + // Access the desired column; adjust the index as needed. |
| 39 | + var column = this.grid.Columns[3]; |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | + // Use reflection to get the internal ScrollColumnIntoView method. |
| 42 | + MethodInfo getScrollToColumn = this.grid.GetType().GetMethod("ScrollColumnIntoView", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic); |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | + // Invoke the method to scroll the specified column into view. |
| 45 | + getScrollToColumn.Invoke(this.grid, new object[] { column }); |
| 46 | +} |
| 47 | +``` |
