Grid frozen columns locked/unlocked events

[Jason]

Looking at the documentation (and also in the code) there doesn't seem to be an event fired when a user changes the locked status on a column via the column menu, if the user drags a column into the locked area then a columnReorder event is fired, is there a way of detecting when a user has changed the lock state of a column so that I can automatically store and restore the locked column states?

Hello Jason,

Indeed currently there isn't any event that will trigger on column lock/unlock. Do you thing that having such events is essential to have?

You can verify column state by inspecting the locked flag in the grid columns.

Hi Nikolay, 

Thanks for the response, currently I'm attempting to store away state on the grid automatically when a user changes elements, I can currently do this for column widths, sort order, column order change, column hidden, column visible just seems like this one is the odd one out not having and event for lock/unlock?

I can obviously change this mechanism to work based on button press/timer check just seems to be inconsistent with the other column state changes.

Hello Jason,

After further discussions we will expose such events. Currently you can track the locked state of the columns by handling the `columnReorder` event. The example bellow shows how you can track changes from the column menu.
