Grid - Support of Resizable and Non Resizable Columns

[Thomas]

When we have a Grid with Resizable Columns we may need some of them to be non-resizable (ex. a column containing only status icons).
There are work around and customizations:

Column Resize - Min Width on Resize
http://www.telerik.com/forums/column-resize---min-width-on-resize

but I believe it will be more handy to define requested behavior as a property of the specific column (ex. in row template).

Also, for non resizable columns the user should not even take a resize handle when going on a non resizable column boundary instead of try to resize and when the user leaves the resize handle the column is bouncing back (restoring) the minimum width defined.

Hi Thomas,

Indeed, the discussed feature is currently not supported. You can vote for it on our feedback portal, so that others can do the same and we get a better idea how popular this functionality is:

On a side note, since column resizing as a user-oriented enhancement, it is used depending on the user's preferences. If a column contains little information and is already narrow, the user will most probably have no incentive to resize it anyway.
