TableView.AllowFixedColumnMenu Property

Gets or sets whether menu items used to fix a column to the left or right, are shown within a column’s context menu. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v18.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public bool AllowFixedColumnMenu { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property AllowFixedColumnMenu As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true, to show items used to fix a column to the left or right, within a column’s context menu; otherwise, false.

Remarks

If the AllowFixedColumnMenu property is set to false, end-users are not allowed to fix columns to the left or right. In this instance, a column can be fixed only in code using the BaseColumn.Fixed property.
