Frozen Columns
The Grid lets you freeze one or more columns. This will allow the user to scroll horizontally through the Grid, but still be able to keep some important columns visible at all times (such as ID or command column).
To enable the column freezing, set the Locked parameter of the column to true.
If the column you want to freeze is not the first in the list, the grid must be scrollable. This requires that there are enough columns with their Width set so that the grid has a horizontal scrollbar (the sum of the Widths of the columns exceeds the Width of the grid). You can read more about the scrolling behavior of the grid in the Grid Column Width Behavior article.
This article you can observe Freezing different columns. The examples are separated into types for clarity:
Frozen first and last columns
Use static markup to Freeze the first and last columns in a Grid
Frozen column in the middle of the Grid
Observe the behavior of a locked column that is neither first, nor last
Limitations
The frozen columns pose some requirements:
-
The
Widthof the Grid must be set inpxunits. -
When a column is frozen (it has
Locked="true"), itsWidthmust be inpxunits.
