Sticky Columns

Question

Allow users to select Sticky columns in dbFront. We have a large number of columns that we want to enable in the Grid view but want to ensure that some columns are always visible.

Answer 1

As of dbFront 1.2.6.1528, dbFront allows you to select Table/Grid columns that should be "sticky". This allows you to specify a set of columns that will attempt to remain on screen as you scroll between table columns.

Any column(s) can be selected. They don't need to be consecutive nor do they need to be at the beginning of the table.

The "sticky" columns are specified in the Table Fields tab in the table properties.

NOTE: Sticky Columns conflict with Fixed Headers so adding a Sticky Column will disable FixedHeaders for that table.
