LockColumnsLeft Property

Specifies the number of columns to lock in the left panel of a grid, beginning at the left edge. Read/write at design time and run time.

Locked columns remain in the grid or Browse window when tabbing to the right. LockColumnsLeft applies only to the left grid panel, which is not displayed by default. After LockColumns is set, the ability to move columns is disabled.

Grid.LockColumnsLeft [ = nValue ]

Return Value

  • nValue
    Numeric data type. Specifies a number of columns to lock in the left panel of a grid. The default value is 0. If nValue is greater than 0, setting nValue to 0 removes the current number of columns locked.

Remarks

Applies To: Grid Control | BROWSE Command

A column separator line, which appears 1 pixel wider than the line separating the other columns, indicates the area where the locked columns end and the normal columns begin.

To lock columns in the right panel of the grid, use the LockColumns property.
