Returns

Returns the number of the row to which the DataWindow scrolls if it succeeds and –1 if an error occurs.

If any argument’s value is null, in PowerBuilder and JavaScript the method returns null.

Usage

After you call ScrollToRow, the specified row becomes the new current row. If that row is already visible, the displayed rows do not change. If the row is not visible, the displayed rows change to display the row.

ScrollToRow does not highlight the row. Use SelectRow to let the user know what row is current.
