Loading 2 DataGrids + StackPanel with ScrollViewer Taking too long, Alternatives?












0















I have 3 content items, two DataGrid and a StackPanel that all need to scroll together in a WPF application. Everything works OK with ScrollViewer as long as I only have a small dataset, but when I get to 500 rows with 150 columns, it lags for about 8 seconds before drawing the screen. After reading this: Unreasonable WPF DataGrid Loading Time I disabled the ScrollViewer and it loaded in just 2.5 seconds.



<ScrollViewer CanContentScroll="True"
HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="20" />
<RowDefinition Height="22" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<DataGrid x:Name="DataGridViewHeader" CellEditEnding="ColumnNameUpdate" Grid.Row="0" HeadersVisibility="None" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,0,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" ItemsSource="{Binding}" CurrentCellChanged="DataGridCellChange" Grid.Column="0" DataGridCell.Selected="DataGrid_GotFocus" />
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" VerticalAlignment="Top" Name="ComboBoxPanel" Grid.Row="1" Margin="0,0,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" >

</StackPanel>

<DataGrid x:Name="DataGridView" Grid.Row="2" HeadersVisibility="None" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,0,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" ItemsSource="{Binding}" CurrentCellChanged="DataGridCellChange" Grid.Column="0"/>

</Grid>
</ScrollViewer>


The trouble is, that the ScrollViewer offers the following layout, which allows me to rename columns at the top, use a dropdown on the second row to select DataType of that column and then shows the data. With 150 columns, they have to all stay lined up, but performance is taking a huge hit.



While I realize that ScrollViewer is an easy solution, is there a better way when taking performance into account?

  • My suggestion would be to use Paging on Datagrid to show minimum of 20 records. Now if user needs to search a particular record, you can provide a text filer above the grid, where the record will displayed instantly.

  • It is a good suggestion, but not ideal. I am building a universal binary database parser youtube.com/watch?v=OMeghA82kSk and sometimes the records that help you identify the column and datatype are not visible in the first 100 or so records. I have updated my GUI to allow you to use sliders to select how many records to pull, but still would love to fix this performance issue if possible.

  • reasonable solution will be to have only one DataGird instead of all 2 DataGrids+StackPanel inside ScrollViewer. Retemplate DataGrid headers so each of them includes dropdown

  • Thanks ASh, that was what I wanted, but couldn't make headway with that when I tried here: stackoverflow.com/questions/53288632/…, here: stackoverflow.com/questions/53272634/…, or here: stackoverflow.com/questions/53215418/… So I ended up with this method
