I have a single data grid control in WPF. I use PreviewKeyDown event to override Home and End events to scroll to the first and last visible item in the data grid control respectively but neither works.
I tried many solutions shown online like finding the visual child but it doesn't work. WPF DataGrid Scroll To Top after Sort
I also tried using ScrollToVerticalOffset to scroll to 0 offset and then print the VerticalOffset, and it wasn't set to 0. So not sure what I am missing.
Here is the code:

{

PropertyChanged?.Invoke ( this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs ( propertyName ) );
}
}
decimal viewScale = 1;
public decimal ViewScale
{
get => this.viewScale;
set => SetField ( ref this.viewScale, value,
"ViewScale"

}

}

{

}
else if ( e.Key == Key.F12 )
{

}
}
}

It seems like it's working but the problem was the use of Home and End keys. Why do they hard code hotkey behaviour in these controls? It causes a lot of hard to debug problems.
Because the thing is when I press Home or End in a data grid, it doesn't even do anything visually. But running this code to scroll to the top:
this.dataGrid.ScrollIntoView ( this.dataGrid.Items [ this.dataGrid.Items.Count - 1 ] );
this.dataGrid.UpdateLayout ( );
this.dataGrid.ScrollIntoView ( this.dataGrid.Items [ 0 ] );
after pressing Home, it somehow interferes with the code and the control doesn't scroll to the top.
I assigned it to a different key and now it works perfectly. Wasted a day on this issue.
