Removing the reorderability of the particular template column in telerik MVC Grid.

[Nikhil Kashyap]

First column of my grid is a template column(i.e Check box Column).I have configured the grid to be reorderable so that user can change the column order as per the need.But I don't want the Checkbox column to be reorderable.Please suggest some solution for the above problem.

Since the reorderability is at the grid level.I need to fix this column issue.



Thanks

Hi Nikhil Kashyap,

 This is currently not supported. Column reordering is enabled globally and there is no way to disable it for a particular column.

I am facing the same problem. My grid has a custom checkbox solution on the first column and it should stay there. Is it still the case that I can't prevent reordering for certain column?

I have tried this with no luck

grid.onColumnReorder = function (e) {
    var column = e.column;
    var oldIndex = e.oldIndex;
    var newIndex = e.newIndex;

    if(oldIndex === 0) {
        e.preventDefault();
        return false;
    }
};

It's not and ideal fix, but I found a way to do it:

Remove the 't-header' class of the column header you want to prevent from being reordered, add this to the grid onLoad handler

$('#no-reorderable-col-header').removeClass('t-header');

Then manually set #no-reorderable-col-header css to match the style defined for .t-header.

Cool, I'll try that one. Thanks!
