Move focus on a specific cell

Answered
Francesco asked on October 10, 2019

Hi,
if the pivot contains many lines it would be useful to have a function that allows user to move the focus ( eventually also the scrollbar) on a specific cell (without filtering the data). Is there a way to do that?
Regards
Francesco

Hello Francesco,
 
Thank you for writing.
As for the scrolling to the specific row, there is no special API call for that.
But you can use JavaScript methods to scroll the content for a specific amount of pixels.
Here is the sample: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/tax4dboq/
 
Please let us know if it helps.
 
Regards,

Hello Ian,
could you please confirm that the approach suggested above is also valid in case of virtual scroll feature enabled and, therefore, when the number of cells exceeds 500?
In my tests I am encountering some difficulties for which I'm asking you for feedback.
Thanks in advance

Hello, Massimo,
 
Thank you for your question.
 
We have checked on our end, and scrolling programmatically seems to work fine when there are more than 500 cells.
However, we would like to kindly explain that calculating the exact number of pixels to scroll to a specific row may be tricky.
 
Could you please provide a bit more details on the difficulties you are encountering?
Please let us know if there are any questions that we could help you with.
 
Looking forward to your response.
 
Kind regards, 
Vera

Hello Vera,

I tried to write an example on jsFiddle but I can't easily reproduce my scenario.
Nonetheless, could you please provide me some guidelines or tips to calculate the exact number of pixels to scroll to a specific cell in this scenario?
Thanks in advance
Regards
