Freezing Grid Columns

Note:

To avoid unexpected results, do not freeze columns in fluid flex grids with stacked columns.

You can freeze the first column or the first several columns in a tabbed grid so that these columns appear on all tabs. To freeze a column, it should appear in the grid before the first tab separator. Then, select the freeze option for each column that you want to appear on the following tab.

Important:

When you freeze a grid column, the columns preceding it also become frozen regardless of whether they have been explicitly frozen.

Freezing grid columns impacts the horizontal scrolling ability of the grid at design time. If you freeze a grid column that is not visible inside the boundaries of the grid at design time, you are not able to view all columns in your grid. Lengthen the width of your grid to accommodate all columns.

Freeze a grid column by selecting the Freeze Grid Column check box on the Use tab of the properties dialog box for that column. Note that the effects of selecting this attribute are visible only at runtime, not design time.
