Statis Columns in RadDataGrid

[Robert]

I am writing to learn if it is possible to have a static column, or freeze a column, in a RadDataGrid for Windows 8;  as I understand, the RadDataGrid for Ajax has a Client Settings section, but I am unable to locate this type of setting of the RadDataGrid for Windows 8; 

The below Xaml code sample is the RadDataGrid which with I am working, including DataGridTemplateColumns;

The goal is to maintain visibility of the first column on the left (or left-most column) - Metric Display Name, if scrolling over to the right;

Thanks in advance for any insight;

<telerikGrid:RadDataGrid x:Name="Scenarios" AutoGenerateColumns="False" VerticalAlignment="Top" Grid.Row="2" Height="510" Width="1000" Margin="0,0,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Visibility="Collapsed">

            <telerikGrid:RadDataGrid.Columns>
                <telerikGrid:DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Metric Display Name" Width="500" >
                    <telerikGrid:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellContentTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <TextBlock x:Name="tbNameFM" Text="{Binding Index, Mode=TwoWay}" Foreground="White" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="14" Height="20" Margin="5,0,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </telerikGrid:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellContentTemplate>
                </telerikGrid:DataGridTemplateColumn>

                <telerikGrid:DataGridTemplateColumn Header="    LATAM    Argentina and Uruguay       Brazil                Chile                Colombia      Latam New Markets    Mexico                Peru                Puerto Rico          Venezuela" >

Hi Robert,

Thank you for using RadControls for Windows 8!

Unfortunately, RadDataGrid does not support frozen columns functionality at this moment. Nevertheless this idea has already been suggested and you can vote for it on our Ideas and Feedback Portal - the higher the demand, the higher the priority of a feature.

Please, feel free to contact us if there is any other way we can help you.
