Hi, does FlyGrid support such a feature?  A user would not be able to move a frozen column, even if column moving is enabled.

Additionally, as the user scrolls to the right, frozen columns would remain visible.

Thanks

Yes, FlyGrid supports this feature.
Please set flyGrid.Columns.LeftFixedColumns property to the number of fixed columns on the left side.

This feature is broken.

I set this property to 1.  Moving columns is allowed in the grid.

So, I can move the second column, before the first, and now it becomes the frozen column.

This is not what I want.  The first column should remain frozen, no matter what. You should not be allowed to move other columns in front of it, causing that column to become the frozen column.

I still want other columns that are not frozen to be allowed to move around.  But I also want the first column (or however many) to remain frozen on the left, regardless of what the user does with the rest.

To set column non-movable use Column.AllowMove = false
To disallow moving column from non-fixed area to fixed or vice versa use FlyGrid.ColumnMove event handler and return false in this handler.

Seems like handling the ColumnMove event in this way is a kluge.  No one who freezes a column on the left, would ever want to allow other columns to be moved in front of it, or have that column moved elsewhere. I honestly don't see anyone who would want to freeze columns without this - what would be the point?

Additionally, it is confusing to the user, that the UI allows them to move a column down in the list, but then presumably the move is undone, and the column moves back to where it was.

I still maintain that this feature is broken.  It only works half way.

Just my opinion.
