Thank you for suggestion. But I am talking about InitializeGroupByRow not InitializeRow. But the time  InitializeGroupByRow is fired everything theoretically should be in place.

However, I will be happy to re-scroll  when the grid is totally initialized. Do you know how can I identify that the grid is initialized? I was trying to re-scroll after the UltraDataSource is completly updated (the grid is more or less static from the point of the data), but by this time Grid was not ready: the  GroupBy rows have not been created yet.

This is probably a timing issue. The grid is probably scrolling based on the positon of the BindingManager, and this occurs after InitializeGroupByRow has fired. 

There's really no way to determine when the Initialization is "done" since it's asynchronous. What I would do is... immediately after you set the DataSource and DataMember on the grid (or call SetDataBinding), use BeginInvoke to call a method that scrolls the row you want into view. The BeginInvoke should cause enough delay for the grid to finish up whatever it was doing.

I have finished this project in February. I am sorry, but I really do not remember details now. I have done something that made the grid work, and users are now happy. I have extracted this code to show solution as I remember it. I am afraid I cannot recreate the problem now.

Sorry again.

What are you calling BeginInvoke on? The grid? I would think that the grid's Handle would have been created by the time Form_Load fires. If not, you could just as easily using BeginInvoke on the Form instead of on the grid. I know I've used that many times myself.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. You seem to be saying exactly the same thing I said. You are scrolling the row into view using InitializeGroupByRow, but then the grid adjusts the scrolling again afterward - this is what I meant by a timing issue.

Actually... you might even try calling BeginInvoke from inside InitializeGroupByRow, rather than Form_Load. The grid's handle must be created by that point.

If that still doesn't work, can you maybe create a small sample project demonstrating the issue so I can take a look?

Kind of

 private void ultraGridBacktest_InitializeGroupByRow(RowsCollection rows, UltraGridRow row)

{

     foreach (UltraGridRow row in e.Row.Rows)

       {

                    this.BeginInvoke(new UpdateFixRowStatusHandle(UpdateFixRowStatus), new object[] {e.Row.Rows, row})

        }

}

        private void UpdateFixRowStatus(RowsCollection rows, UltraGridRow row, bool fixedRow)
        {
            try
            {
                if (row.VisibleIndex >= 0)
                {
                    if (fixedRow)
                    {
                        if (!rows.FixedRows.Contains(row))
                        {
                            row.Fixed = true;                           
                        }
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        if (rows.FixedRows.Contains(row))
                        {
                           
                            row.Fixed = false;                                                       
                            ultraGrid.DisplayLayout.RowScrollRegions[0].Scroll(RowScrollAction.LineUp);
                        }
                    }

                    //reload order
                    row.RefreshSortPosition();
                   
                }
               
            }
            catch(Exception ex)
            {
              
            }
        
        }

   This code essentially moves the grid one line up in certain  conditions that make row visible. But I do not remember details. Above is extract from my code. Hope it helps.

Did you manage to solve this issue as there seems to be several of us who are suffering from the same issue here, although no-one has really helped to resolve this issue,. I'd be keen to know if Infragistics have accepted that this functionality simply doesn’t work.

The whole process doesn’t seem to have been very well thought out, especially when it comes to setting scroll-bar positioning in a group-by situation.

Thank you  for advice. DataSource is set at the design time with UltraDataSource. My grid initialisation routine called from Form_Load is simply reading from DB row-by-row and adding rows to UltraDataSource with BeginUpdate() and SuspendRowSynchronization() at the start and ResumeRowSynchronization()/EndUpdate() in finally.

I have tried to call BeginInvoke for scrolling after this function. It didn't help due to the fact that the grid is initialising: I am receiving exception

"Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has been created"
