Documentation

Definition

This attribute controls the way columns can be moved with the mouse and also affects horizontal scrolling.

Effect

Attribute is set:

• The user cannot change the position of a column by drag and drop.
• If the user scrolls horizontally in the table, the column itself does not move but remains visible on the left edge of the table.

If the attribute is set for a field in column 2 or higher, all columns to the left of this must also be fixed.

If a column selection field exists, it is always fixed.

The attribute can also be set dynamically in the program by assigning the number of fixed columns (starting on the left) to the variable mytable-FIXED_COLS. This dynamic assignment overrides the assignment made in Screen Painter.

Usage

The attribute should be set for key fields. This means that, with wide tables in particular, fields assigned to the right of the key field are not lost when you scroll horizontally.
