Scrolling in EJ2 TypeScript Treegrid control

27 Apr 202314 minutes to read

The scrollbar will be displayed in the treegrid 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 treegrid exceeds its element height.
The horizontal scrollbar appears when the sum of columns width exceeds the treegrid element width.
The height and width are used to set the treegrid 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.

index.ts
index.html
import { TreeGrid } from '@syncfusion/ej2-treegrid';
import { sampleData } from './datasource.ts';

let treeGridObj: TreeGrid = new TreeGrid({
    dataSource: sampleData,
    height: 315,
    width: 400,
    childMapping: 'subtasks',
    treeColumnIndex: 1,
    columns: [
                { field: 'taskID', headerText: 'Task ID', width: 90, textAlign: 'Right' },
                { field: 'taskName', headerText: 'Task Name', width: 180 },
                {
                    field: 'startDate', headerText: 'Start Date', width: 120, textAlign: 'Right', type: 'date',format: 'yMd'
                },
                { field: 'duration', headerText: 'Duration', width: 110, textAlign: 'Right' }
    ]
});

treeGridObj.appendTo('#TreeGrid');

Responsive with parent container

Specify the width and height as 100% to make the treegrid element fill its parent container.
Setting the height to 100% requires the treegrid parent element to have explicit height.

index.ts
index.html
import { TreeGrid } from '@syncfusion/ej2-treegrid';
import { sampleData } from './datasource.ts';

let treeGridObj: TreeGrid = new TreeGrid({
    dataSource: sampleData,
    height: '100%',
    width: '100%',
    childMapping: 'subtasks',
    treeColumnIndex: 1,
    columns: [
                { field: 'taskID', headerText: 'Task ID', width: 90, textAlign: 'Right' },
                { field: 'taskName', headerText: 'Task Name', width: 180 },
                {
                    field: 'startDate', headerText: 'Start Date', width: 90, textAlign: 'Right', type: 'date',format: 'yMd'
                },
                { field: 'duration', headerText: 'Duration', width: 80, textAlign: 'Right' }
    ]
});

treeGridObj.appendTo('#TreeGrid');

Scroll to selected row

You can scroll the treegrid content to the selected row position by using the rowSelected event.

index.ts
index.html
import { TreeGrid, RowSelectEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-treegrid';
import { NumericTextBox } from '@syncfusion/ej2-inputs';
import { sampleData } from './datasource.ts';

let treeGridObj: TreeGrid = new TreeGrid({
    dataSource: sampleData,
    height: '270',
    width: '100%',
    childMapping: 'subtasks',
    treeColumnIndex: 1,
    rowSelected: rowSelected,
    columns: [
                { field: 'taskID', headerText: 'Task ID', width: 90, textAlign: 'Right' },
                { field: 'taskName', headerText: 'Task Name', width: 180 },
                {
                    field: 'startDate', headerText: 'Start Date', width: 90, textAlign: 'Right', type: 'date',format: 'yMd'
                },
                { field: 'duration', headerText: 'Duration', width: 80, textAlign: 'Right' }
    ]
});

treeGridObj.appendTo('#TreeGrid');

let numeric: NumericTextBox = new NumericTextBox({
    width: 200,
    min: 0,
    showSpinButton: false,
    format: 'N',
    placeholder: 'Enter index to select a row',
    change: onchange
}, '#numeric');

function onchange(): void {
    treeGridObj.selectRow(parseInt(numeric.getText(), 10));
}

function rowSelected(args: RowSelectEventArgs) {
    let rowHeight: number = treeGridObj.getRows()[treeGridObj.getSelectedRowIndexes()[0]].scrollHeight;
    treeGridObj.getContent().children[0].scrollTop = rowHeight * treeGridObj.getSelectedRowIndexes()[0];
}
