could a single column width (like "Week 5") to be fixed so user could not resize it?

Yes, a single column width can be fixed, preventing a user from resizing it, by setting the CanUserResize property on the column to false.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the nice posts on data grid. I had one more requirement while showing the grid. I want to show the record number (index) as the first column and freeze it so that at any scroll position, you know which index you are on. This will remain same even if some other columns are resorted. Do you have suggestion how we can implement this?

What if I want to Freeze the first column in the grid and the last column?

It seems the DataGrid API is bit short for not providing a way to free columns on the right. Currently I have to do a whole bunch of calculation to make the columns on the right looked frozen.

Probably this is a feature that should be added.

I would also like to do that, freeze columns to the left and to the right; no ideas?

Thanks for the feedback all.

To clarify your scenarios around freezing the columns to the right.

1) Is it only important that the column is always visible and always on the rightmost edge of the DataGrid, or is allowing other columns to scroll, and having them scroll under that frozen column, critical as well?

2) Does anyone have a scenario where they need to freeze columns on both the left and the right at the same time? What are you trying to achieve in these scenarios?

Thanks,

Scott
