Question

Is it possible to make the first column of a SlickGrid fixed? So that it is always visible during horizontal scrolling, like the header-row?

Thanks for help!

I think you can make in the event .onViewportChanged() the next steps:

1. Get the columns with .getColumns() and stored in an array variable arrColumns.
2. Then detect the first column.
3. Store the data with .getData() in an array variable arrData
4. Sort arrColumns putting the first column at the beginning.
5. Set the columns in the new arrColumns with .setColumns()
6. Reassembly arrData with the order of the new arrColumns.
7. Call .resizeCanvas()
8. Cross your fingers. 😀

Sorry but I don’t find a method or an option in that you can make this behavior in the way that you want.

Well, see what you think of this. It is far from perfect, but it is an idea. I would make something better if the method scrollTo() would be public.
