GridColumn.Fixed Property

Gets or sets a value specifying whether the column takes part in horizontal View scrolling or is anchored to a View edge.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraGrid.Columns

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraGrid.v19.1.dll

Declaration

C#

[DXCategory("Behavior")]
[DefaultValue(FixedStyle.None)]
[XtraSerializableProperty]
public virtual FixedStyle Fixed { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DXCategory("Behavior")>
<DefaultValue(FixedStyle.None)>
<XtraSerializableProperty>
Public Overridable Property Fixed As FixedStyle

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
FixedStyle	**None**	A FixedStyle enumeration value.

Available values:

Name	Description
None	The band or column takes part in horizontal scrolling.
Left	The band or column is anchored to the View’s left edge.
Right	The band or column is anchored to the View’s right edge.

Remarks

If the GridOptionsView.ColumnAutoWidth option is set to false and the total column width exceeds the View width, you can scroll the View horizontally. If you need particular columns to be displayed on screen regardless of scrolling performed, set those columns’ Fixed property to either FixedStyle.Left or FixedStyle.Right.

You can anchor an unlimited number of columns to any View edge.
