I am using the UltraWinTree to allow the user to build a hierarchical task list. They can enter details about the tasks such as Start and End dates, budget dollars, comments. As I add columns the user needs to scroll to the right and I want the Task Name column to remain in view as the user scrolls right. I can do this with the UltraGrid, can I do this with the UltraWinTree Columnset?
No, the UltraWinTree does not currently support fixed columns. You should Submit a feature request to Infragistics
I have been very successful in the past using Infragistics controls to accomplish everything I needed. Would it be possible to use the WinGrid and get the same Outlook Express look I am getting from UltraTree?
The best I could offer is the coding to make the WPF grid work like a tree and a grid control. I was creating a new application so I just did the coding required to make it happen.
I have a project management system that allows the user to build a work breakdown structure hierarchy much like you do using the tree control. However it has the grid columns that can contain any type of control. Also I am able to limit the depth to seven levels but I don't see why it would not work for infinate levels.
The first column of the grid is the hidden hierarchical key and the second column of the grid is a custom Expander button control that shows the + or - sign and allows child rows to be hidden or shown. I use a hierarchical query from SQL Server that provides the data to use the grid sorting to keep the data in hierarchical order.
It is WPF and not Windows so not sure if that helps but maybe the concepts could be applied to your solution. I really like WPF and am glad I had the option. Infragistics is a great company and they cannot create 100% of what you need but there is always a way to program around to find a solution. At least that is my experience.
Hey Infragistics!
Two years later: is there finally a way to freeze columns in the UltraTreeGrid???
Thanks a lot!

Hello ,
When this features is implemented it will be listed under “What is new ?” section of our online documentation and also under “What’s new ” section in our website:
http://ko.infragistics.com/products/windows-forms/whatsnew
Thank you for using Infragistics Components.
Hi Infragistics-Team!
So your answer is a certain rejection to the feature request from all the users!?
Cannot find the feature, so you did not implemented it. Are there any plans to implement it? What can I say to my CEO and customers?
Please be so kind and give us a comprehensible answer!
Thanks in advance!
Our product ideas are implemented based on count of the requests of this particular feature. When there is enough Infragistics customers which want this features to be implemented, our Product Management team evaluate how much time and effort the implementation of this feature will takes and if there is enough resources for the planning period, the features is assign as task to the developers for implementation.
Could you please let me know why you don’t consider to use UltraGrid instead of UltraTree, since UltraTree is in GridForm, what exactly in your scenario stops you to use UltraGrid. UltraGrid supports fixed columns, it is hierarchical just as UltraTree and paling within underlain data source you will achieve heterogenic structure. I’ve seen your post from 1 of April 2011 and if this is the only reason which stops you to use UltraGrid, the other option which I could offer you is to consider to use our “Consulting Service” for your particular scenario. On the following link you will find more information about this service:

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Assuming its not available as of now, Is there any alternative way of freezing the columns ? Changing to grid is ruled out completely.
Is this feature available in any new releases..?
We are also looking for a solution to fix the first three columns of an UltraWinTree with ColumnSet.
The reasons we use a Tree and not a Grid are the same, that other customers mentioned:
- the hierarchy and structure of the tree suits our purposes and
- we already built a lot of code around the tree hierarchy, that cannot easily (if at all) be transfered to a Grid.
It's been more than a year since the last post on this matter. Are there any news on behalf of this subject?
