Last Updated : 29 Mar, 2023

jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful, optimized, platform-independent, and widely supported framework. The jqxGrid is used to illustrate a jQuery widget that shows data in tabular form. Moreover, it renders full support for connecting with data, as well as paging, grouping, sorting, filtering and editing.

The scrollmode property is used to set or get the scrolling mode of the displayed jqxGrid. It is of type string and its by default value is default.

The possible modes of scrolling are as follows:

default: It is the stated default mode of the scrolling.
logical: It is the logical mode where the motion of the scrollbar thumb is by means of row, and not by pixel.
deferred: It is the stated deferred mode where then content is motionless whenever the user pulls the thumb of a scrollbar.

Syntax:

Set the scrollmode property.

$('#Selector').jqxGrid({ scrollmode: 'logical'});

Return the scrollmode property.

var scrollmode = $('#Selector').jqxGrid('scrollmode');
