Documentation

This attribute affects the movability of columns with the mouse and when scrolling horizontally.

You can make columns on the extreme left immovable by defining them as fixed.

Effect of fixed columns

• The user cannot change the position of fixed columns by drag-and-drop.
• If you scroll horizontally in a table, fixed columns are not included in the scrolling process and remain on the left edge of the table.

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

Usage

You should set this attribute for key fields, since this prevents the assignment of fields on the right to the key field from being lost when you scroll horizontally.

Dependencies

Line selection columns are ignored. They are not included in the number of fixed columns.

The number of fixed columns cannot be greater than the number of columns (excluding the line selection column).
