Header Value	Capital Exp	Capital Exp	Capital Exp	Capital Exp
Akron	16205.00	2661.00	2215.00	0.00

Hello Alexis,

As far as I know, we cannot make the RadGrid rows as static. The only content, which may be kept frozen (static) is the header, command item, pager and footer, if you enable scrolling with static headers as described in the forum.

One workaround is using HeaderTemplate for the columns and use row like structure. Add labels inside HeaderTemplate and set the Text property of Label accordingly (as the cell value of first two rows). Set UserStaticHeader property to True. And then hide the first two rows in RadGrid.

Hope this suggestion helps.


Thanks,
Princy.

I am bringing back an old thread to get an update on the latest version (2012 Q2).

Does the current version of RadGrid support freezing data rows for an auto generated grid?  The proposed option by Princy requires a customized HeaderTemplate which is not used in my auto generated solution.

Thanks

Hello Gordon,

If you have some information which is related to all the data in the grid, it is better to be in the header. The proposed suggestion by Princy could be implemented in your scenario as well. Another possible solution is to use Multi-Column Headers.
