RadGrid frozen column not working in IE

[Katie Arnott]

I am using product version 2013.1.417.45 and I can't get my radgrid to work properly in IE (version 11.0.96) when setting the frozen column count.  Grid seems to work as expected in Chrome.

Here is my grid scrolling set up

GridAdapter.Grid.ClientSettings.Scrolling.AllowScroll = true;
GridAdapter.Grid.ClientSettings.Scrolling.UseStaticHeaders = true;
GridAdapter.Grid.ClientSettings.Scrolling.FrozenColumnsCount = 1;
GridAdapter.Grid.ClientSettings.Scrolling.ScrollHeight = Unit.Pixel(500);

I have sorting on some columns (not all), and have widths (in Unit.Pixel) set on column headers and cells; widths vary from column to column but are same for column and corresponding cell.

Please see attached screen shots in both IE and Chrome.

Thank you,
Katie

Hello Katie,

The version of the controls you are using was released in April 2013 and Internet Explorer 11 was released in October. Because of this some issues are possible when using older version of the controls with the new browser version.

If you would like to support Internet Explorer 11 in your application I would recommend updating the controls to the latest version (currently 2013.3.1324). In addition to IE 11 support it includes different improvements.

A simple fix to this problem specially in IE, when you have scrolling columns with few frozen columns is below:

Just make sure that you set the GridView width equal to the width of number of visible columns at any point of time. Can be understood with the example as:

Let us suppose you have 20 columns in the grid view.Suppose out of these 20 columns first two are frozen & after frozen columns we have to display 6 columns and rest depending on scroll. So to notice here is that at any point of time we have 8 columns being displayed (2 frozen + 6 scrolling). Suppose you set the header style width of all these columns to let us say 100. You must set the width of your GridView to 800 and like wise.

This worked for me seamlessly. Hope it helps you as well :)

Hi Amitesh,

Thank you for sharing your solution with the community. This may be useful to someone facing similar behavior.

Nevertheless, if there is an issue it is recommended to upgrade the controls to the latest available version first.
