To lock a column on the left side of the grid and allow the rest of the columns in the grid to scroll.

 e.Layout.UseFixedHeaders = True

e.Layout.Bands(0).Columns(0).Header.Fixed = True

e.Layout.Bands(0).Columns(1).Header.Fixed = True

e.Layout.Bands(0).Columns(2).Header.Fixed = True

e.Layout.Bands(0).Columns(3).Header.Fixed = True

OK, you've got me stumped!

Wild guess: Does the InitializeLayout event handler execute when you don't bind to a datasource?

Hello,

I am facing problem in freezing the columns in my grid, The moment I add below code  in the Initialize event the grid columns are kind of squezed to 0 width and I lose styles also. here is my code.Please help me out in solving this issue

e.Layout.UseFixedHeaders = true;

e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns[2].Header.Fixed = true;

e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns[4].Header.Fixed = true;

 Thanks in advance,

Chaitanya...

I put it in the load method and that worked. 

Interesting.  You're correct.  It doesn't go to the event when I populate the grid.  It does go to the event if the datasource is assigned.  Is there another event that would run this code?
