Mouse scroll not working in a scroll viewer with a wpf datagrid and additional UI elements

Question

I am trying to figure out how to get the mouse scroll working on a wpf window with a scrollviewer and a datagrid within it. The WPF and C# code is below

<ScrollViewer HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
    <Grid>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition/>
            <RowDefinition/>
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <Grid Grid.Row="0">

            <Border Name="DataGridBorder" BorderThickness="2"  Margin="1" CornerRadius="4" BorderBrush="#FF080757">
                <dg:DataGrid AutoGenerateColumns="False" Name="ValuesDataGrid" 
                         BorderThickness="0" CanUserResizeColumns="True" FontWeight="Bold" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" 
                         CanUserReorderColumns="False" IsReadOnly="True" IsTextSearchEnabled="True" AlternationCount="2"
                         SelectionMode="Extended" GridLinesVisibility="All"                
                         HeadersVisibility="Column" CanUserAddRows="False" CanUserDeleteRows="False" CanUserResizeRows="False" CanUserSortColumns="False"
                         RowDetailsVisibilityMode="Collapsed"  SelectedIndex="0"
                         RowStyle="{StaticResource CognitiDataGridRowStyle}"
                         >

                    <dg:DataGrid.Columns>
                        <dg:DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Title" >
                            <dg:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
                                <DataTemplate>
                                    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" >
                                        <TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="{Binding Path=Name}" FontWeight="Normal"  />
                                    </StackPanel>
                                </DataTemplate>
                            </dg:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
                        </dg:DataGridTemplateColumn>
                    </dg:DataGrid.Columns>
                </dg:DataGrid>
            </Border>
        </Grid>
        <Button Grid.Row="1" Height="90" >hello world</Button>
    </Grid>
</ScrollViewer>

and the C# code is as follows

 public partial class Window1 : Window
  {
     public Window1()
     {
        InitializeComponent();
        initialize();
      }

    public void initialize()
    {
        ObservableCollection<MyObject> testList = new ObservableCollection<MyObject>();

        for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
        {
            MyObject my = new MyObject("jack " + i);
            testList.Add(my);
        }

        ValuesDataGrid.ItemsSource = testList;



    }
}

public class MyObject
{
    public string Name { get; set; }



    public MyObject(string name)
    {
        Name = name;
    }
   }

The problem i am facing is that when using the mouse to scroll, it works fine when it is over the button but as soon as i move the mouse pointer over the grid and try to scroll, nothing happens. I am able to move the scrollbar of the scrollviewer directly though. I am still a wpf novice so any help on how to get the mouse scroll to work over the datagrid would be appreciated. I am guessing there should be a pretty easy solution for this but I havent been able to figure it out

Answer 1

I'm assuming the DataGrid does not need to scroll - Set the VerticalScrollBar="None" on the DataGrid.

The DataGrid swallows the mouse scroll event.

What I found is to use the PreviewMouseWheel event to scroll the container that you want to scroll. You will need to name the scrollviewer to change the Vertical offset.

private void DataGrid_PreviewMouseWheel(object sender, MouseWheelEventArgs e)
    {
       scrollViewer.ScrollToVerticalOffset(scrollViewer.VerticalOffset-e.Delta);
    }
