Scrolling in Blazor DataGrid component

28 Jul 2021 / 10 minutes to read

The scrollbar will be displayed in the datagrid when content exceeds the element Width or Height. The vertical and horizontal scrollbars will be displayed based on the following criteria:

The vertical scrollbar appears when the total height of rows present in the datagrid exceeds its element height.
The horizontal scrollbar appears when the sum of columns width exceeds the datagrid element width.
The Height and Width are used to set the datagrid height and width, respectively.

The default value for Height and Width is auto.

Set width and height

To specify the Width and Height of the scroller in the pixel, set the pixel value to a number.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids

<SfGrid DataSource="@Orders" Height="315" Width="400">
<GridColumns>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderID) HeaderText="Order ID" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.CustomerID) HeaderText="Customer Name" Width="150"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderDate) HeaderText=" Order Date" Format="d" Type="ColumnType.Date" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="130"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.Freight) HeaderText="Freight" Format="C2" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.ShipCountry) HeaderText="Ship Country" Width="150"></GridColumn>
</GridColumns>
</SfGrid>

@code{
public List<Order> Orders { get; set; }

protected override void OnInitialized()
{
    Orders = Enumerable.Range(1, 75).Select(x => new Order()
    {
        OrderID = 1000 + x,
        CustomerID = (new string[] { "ALFKI", "ANANTR", "ANTON", "BLONP", "BOLID" })[new Random().Next(5)],
        Freight = 2.1 * x,
        OrderDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x),
        ShipCountry = (new string[] { "USA", "UK", "JAPAN" })[new Random().Next(3)]
    }).ToList();
}

public class Order {
    public int? OrderID { get; set; }
    public string CustomerID { get; set; }
    public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
    public double? Freight { get; set; }
    public string ShipCountry { get; set; }
}

}

Responsive with parent container

Specify the Width and Height as 100% to make the datagrid element fill its parent container. Setting the Height to 100% requires the datagrid parent element to have explicit height or you can use calc function to set explicit height based on the browser layout.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids

<div style="width:calc(100vw - 20rem); height:calc(100vh - 7rem);">
@*Change the rem values based on your browser page layout*@
<SfGrid DataSource="@Orders" Height="100%" Width="100%">
<GridColumns>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderID) HeaderText="Order ID" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.CustomerID) HeaderText="Customer Name" Width="150"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderDate) HeaderText=" Order Date" Format="d" Type="ColumnType.Date" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="130"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.Freight) HeaderText="Freight" Format="C2" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.ShipCountry) HeaderText="Ship Country" Width="150"></GridColumn>
</GridColumns>
</SfGrid>
</div>

@code{
public List<Order> Orders { get; set; }

protected override void OnInitialized()
{
    Orders = Enumerable.Range(1, 75).Select(x => new Order()
    {
        OrderID = 1000 + x,
        CustomerID = (new string[] { "ALFKI", "ANANTR", "ANTON", "BLONP", "BOLID" })[new Random().Next(5)],
        Freight = 2.1 * x,
        OrderDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x),
        ShipCountry = (new string[] { "USA", "UK", "JAPAN" })[new Random().Next(3)]
    }).ToList();
}

public class Order {
    public int? OrderID { get; set; }
    public string CustomerID { get; set; }
    public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
    public double? Freight { get; set; }
    public string ShipCountry { get; set; }
}
}

Frozen rows and columns

Frozen rows and columns provides an option to make rows and columns always visible in the top and left side of the datagrid while scrolling.

In this demo, the FrozenColumns is set as ‘2’ and the FrozenRows is set as ‘3’. Hence, the left two columns and top three rows are frozen.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids

<SfGrid DataSource="@Orders" AllowSelection="false" EnableHover="false" FrozenColumns="2" FrozenRows="3" Width="100%" Height="400" >
<GridColumns>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderID) HeaderText="Order ID" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.CustomerID) HeaderText="Customer Name" Width="150"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.EmployeeID) HeaderText="Employee ID" Width="150"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.ShipName) HeaderText="Ship Name" Width="150"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.ShipAddress) HeaderText="Ship Address" Width="150"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.ShipCity) HeaderText="Ship City" Width="150"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderDate) HeaderText=" Order Date" Format="d" Type="ColumnType.Date" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="130"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.Freight) HeaderText="Freight" Format="C2" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.ShipCountry) HeaderText="Ship Country" Width="150"></GridColumn>
</GridColumns>
</SfGrid>

@code{
public List<Order> Orders { get; set; }

protected override void OnInitialized()
{
    Orders = Enumerable.Range(1, 75).Select(x => new Order()
    {
        OrderID = 1000 + x,
        CustomerID = (new string[] { "ALFKI", "ANANTR", "ANTON", "BLONP", "BOLID" })[new Random().Next(5)],
        Freight = 2.1 * x,
        EmployeeID = x,
        OrderDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x),
        ShipCountry = (new string[] { "USA", "UK", "JAPAN" })[new Random().Next(3)],
        ShipName = "MOS",
        ShipCity = (new string[] { "New york", "London", "Hue" })[new Random().Next(3)],
        ShipAddress = (new string[] { "55, Baker street", "65/5 Kings landing", "56, Winterfell" })[new Random().Next(3)],
    }).ToList();
}

public class Order {
    public int? OrderID { get; set; }
    public string CustomerID { get; set; }
    public int? EmployeeID { get; set; }
    public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
    public double? Freight { get; set; }
    public string ShipCountry { get; set; }
    public string ShipCity { get; set; }
    public string ShipName { get; set; }
    public string ShipAddress { get; set; }
}
}

Freeze particular columns

To freeze particular column in the datagrid, the IsFrozen property of GridColumn component can be used.

In this demo, the columns with field name OrderID and EmployeeID is frozen using the IsFrozen property of GridColumn.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids

<SfGrid DataSource="@Orders" AllowSelection="false" EnableHover="false" FrozenRows="3" Width="100%" Height="400" >
<GridColumns>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderID) HeaderText="Order ID" IsFrozen="true" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.CustomerID) HeaderText="Customer Name" Width="150"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.EmployeeID) HeaderText="Employee ID" IsFrozen="true" Width="150"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.ShipName) HeaderText="Ship Name" Width="150"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.ShipAddress) HeaderText="Ship Address" Width="150"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.ShipCity) HeaderText="Ship City" Width="150"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderDate) HeaderText=" Order Date" Format="d" Type="ColumnType.Date" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="130"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.Freight) HeaderText="Freight" Format="C2" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
    <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.ShipCountry) HeaderText="Ship Country" Width="150"></GridColumn>
</GridColumns>
</SfGrid>

@code{
public List<Order> Orders { get; set; }

protected override void OnInitialized()
{
    Orders = Enumerable.Range(1, 75).Select(x => new Order()
    {
        OrderID = 1000 + x,
        CustomerID = (new string[] { "ALFKI", "ANANTR", "ANTON", "BLONP", "BOLID" })[new Random().Next(5)],
        Freight = 2.1 * x,
        EmployeeID = x,
        OrderDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x),
        ShipCountry = (new string[] { "USA", "UK", "JAPAN" })[new Random().Next(3)],
        ShipName = "MOS",
        ShipCity = (new string[] { "New york", "London", "Hue" })[new Random().Next(3)],
        ShipAddress = (new string[] { "55, Baker street", "65/5 Kings landing", "56, Winterfell" })[new Random().Next(3)],
    }).ToList();
}

public class Order {
    public int? OrderID { get; set; }
    public string CustomerID { get; set; }
    public int? EmployeeID { get; set; }
    public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
    public double? Freight { get; set; }
    public string ShipCountry { get; set; }
    public string ShipCity { get; set; }
    public string ShipName { get; set; }
    public string ShipAddress { get; set; }
}

}

Frozen rows and columns should not be set outside the datagrid view port.

Limitations

The following features are not supported in frozen rows and columns:

Grouping
Row Template
Detail Template
Hierarchy DataGrid

Freeze Direction

You can freeze the Grid columns on the left or right side by using the Freeze property and the remaining columns will be movable. The grid will automatically move the columns to the left or right position based on the Freeze value and also IsFrozen property should be true.

Types of the Freeze directions:

FreezeDirection.Left: Allows you to freeze the columns at the left.
FreezeDirection.Right: Allows you to freeze the columns at the right.

In this demo, the OrderID column is frozen at the left and the ShipCountry column is frozen at the right side of the content table.

    }
}

The following screenshots represent a frozen direction.

Limitations of Freeze Direction

This feature has the below limitations, along with the above mentioned Frozen Grid limitations.

Column virtualization
Infinite scroll cache mode
Freeze direction in the stacked header is not compatible with column reordering.
When using cell template/text wrap in any one of the panels will result in variable row height between the panels and this height will be re-calculated based on the DOM offset height and then applied to all the rows in all the panels to make it look even. This may result in a visual glitch. You can resolve this problem by setting static values to the RowHeight property in SfGrid.
The Freeze and FrozenColumns properties are incompatible and cannot be used at the same time.

You can refer to our Blazor DataGrid feature tour page for its groundbreaking feature representations. You can also explore our Blazor DataGrid example to understand how to present and manipulate data.
