Thread EDB Manager--fixed columns in grid
Wed, Jul 14 2010 1:11 AMPermanent Link

When browsing a table in the EDBManager grid, I'd like to keep key
fields in view as I scroll far, far to the right.  Could you expose
TCustomGrid.FixedCols via a "cracker" class, and add a right-click
option to the column header which would "Freeze this column (and columns
to the left)"?

At first glance - possibly. Smiley It depends upon how well the TDBGrid
behaves when you starting mucking around with the underlying TCustomGrid
options.

It's a great idea, so I'll see what I can do.

I know you don't like using third party software but for this I really can recommend Mike Skolnik's freeware SMDBGrid. I've used it for years. I moved away from it to TMS for prettyness but I've put my version back to regain speed.

My version chops out a lot of the stuff in Mike's that I don't want like footers and multiline column titles.
