Column locking

[mark]

Can we dynamically lock and unlock the columns? Is it possible to have an indicator (like an icon next to a title) that the column is currently locked?

 

Thanks

Hello Mark,

The Grid exposes the lockColumn and unlockColumn methods for locking/unlocking columns.

As for adding an indicator that the column is locked, there isn't a built-in indicator, but you can use jQuery to add an icon next to the locked column's title.

Here's an example: https://dojo.telerik.com/IsuWolEt

The "Ship Country" column is locked. In its configuration a custom class is set so that it can be later identified:

headerAttributes: {
  "class": "locked-column",
}

In the Grid's dataBound event handler, a span element that displays an icon is added to the header of the locked columns that have the custom class:

dataBound: function(e){
  $(".k-grid .locked-column").prepend("<span style='float: left' class='k-icon k-i-lock'></span>")
}
