To scroll the datawindow you can use the datawindow object properties (https://docs.appeon.com/pb2021/datawindow_reference/XREF_61504_Controls_in_a.html#XREF_40675_Properties_for_the)

  • VerticalScrollMaximum
  • VerticalScrollPosition
  • HorizontalScrollMaximum
  • HorizontalScrollMaximum2
  • HorizontalScrollPosition
  • HorizontalScrollPosition2
  • HorizontalScrollSplit

So to scroll down you can use

dw_control.Object.DataWindow.VerticalScrollPosition = dw_control.Object.DataWindow.VerticalScrollMaximum

HTH,

René
