Property Paths

You can access this nested property as listed below:

Object Type	Path to AllowMove
GridColumn	.OptionsColumn.AllowMove
LayoutViewColumn	.OptionsColumn.AllowMove
BandedGridColumn	.OptionsColumn.AllowMove

Remarks

Headers can be dragged within the column header panel to reorder columns or to the Customization Form to hide the columns. If the column’s OptionsColumn.AllowGroup and the View’s GridOptionsCustomization.AllowGroup options are enabled, column headers can be dragged to the group panel to group by the associated columns.

The View’s GridOptionsCustomization.AllowColumnMoving property can be used to prevent any columns from being moved by end-users.
