Hi Budianto,

I not sure what you mean. If you have a grid with only 4 columns visible, and you are on 5th (first 4 are not in sight) the code in the button

this.parent.grid1.column3.setfocus()

just automatically scrolls the grid back and sets the focus to the third column. Could you post the code in your button.Click() ?
