setCurrentRow

I am experiencing the a problem that is just driving me crazy. I am trying to get the datagrid to autoscroll to a certain row using the setCurrentRow method. It is working fine in other programs but not in another one. The setSelectedRows method is highlighting the row but I can not get the grid to auto scroll. If I put an alert before the setCurrentRow to see what the row number, once I press OK it will do the scrolling. When I take the alert back out, it stops working again. Is there any way to trouble shoot this more intelligently to see what is happening.

Here is a test program I was trying to get working and even with this one the row is selected but the grid is not scrolling to row 18. What am I missing?

Auto-scroll currently works only after the grid is written into the page. You can either set scrollTop explicitly, or set current/selected row after timeout -

var obj = new AW.UI.Grid;

obj.setId("myGrid");

obj.setCellText(myData);

obj.setHeaderText(myHeaders);

obj.setColumnCount(5);

obj.setRowCount(20);

obj.setSelectionMode("single-row");

document.write(obj);



window.setTimeout(function(){

    obj.setSelectedRows([18]);

    obj.setCurrentRow(18);

});
