WPF SelectedItem and Scrolling

Question

I have a DataGrid WPF. DataGrid is bound to IList. The list contains many elements, so the DataGrid MaxHeight is set to a predefined value, and the DataGrid automatically displays the scroll bar. The selection mode and block are set to "single full line".

The form has a button called "New" that adds the item to the list to which the datagrid is bound. After clicking Create, the new item should be the new selected item. I do this through: dataGrid.SelectedItem = newItem;

It works .. but not as good as I expect.

I also want the dataGrid to scroll down to the newly selected item . Any idea on how to do this?

After you set SelectedItem, be sure to call DataGrid.ScrollIntoView with the new item. This will ensure that the new item is displayed on the screen.
