[Solved] Is there any way get the column auto width behavior of scrollable=false with a frozen column header that you get with scrollable=true?

[Chris]

We have a grid where the number and relative widths of columns is unknown and variable.  Thus, the auto-sizing behavior you get with scrollable=false is exactly what we want.

However, with scrollable=false the header row does not remain fixed and thus is not visible when the grid scrolls.

Is there any way to get the fixed column header with the column auto-sizing?

If you'd rather have your page scroll instead of the grid, then you may have to implement a way to make the grid header "sticky" outside of Kendo.  This would be very easy to do with a library like: http://stickyjs.com/.

What I want is the grid to scroll itself while leaving the header in place like it does when you set scrollable=true while allowing the auto-sizing columns you get with scrollable=false.

Hello,

Column auto-sizing and Grid scrolling are mutually exclusive features. The following documentation section explains why:
