The child band in my data row is large height wise because I squeeze a From and To project information onto one row using a cell template. This means scrolling and when the user scrolls down the child header scolls out of view. Any way to hold the child header so it does not scroll out of view?
Thank you.
Hello drdonna,
After some research, this has been determined to be a new feature request. I have sent your feature request directly to our product management team. Our product team chooses new feature requests for development based on popular feedback from our customer base. Infragistics continues to monitor application development for all of our products, so as trends appear in requested features, we can plan accordingly.
We value your input, and our philosophy is to enhance our toolset based on customer feedback. If your feature is chosen for development, you will be notified at that time. Your reference number for this feature request is FR14103
Thank you for your request.
I am dissapointed there is no work around for this. What good is the header if it scrolls out of view? I can see the challenge of having a scrolling area inside the child row area so the header does not scroll out of view.
Not sure what I am going to tell my customers, remember the order of the cells? Guess I will try a tool tip on the cell so at least they user has a clue.
One workaround you might want to consider is to use TemplateColumnLayout and display another grid in your childband. Using this approach you'll be able to scroll only the contents of the inner grid without loosing its headers. This workaround will have a performance impact though.
Attached is a sample that demonstrates this approach.
Hope this helps,
Our product management team hasn't decided yet which will be the full list of features that will be implemented in the future versions, and we are still having your FR in mind and will do our best to implement it in one of the next Infragistics versions. If your feature request gets chosen for implementation we will update you accordingly.
I contacted our product management team for any updates on this. I will get back to you as soon as I hear from them.
While this worked, kind of, the performance was terrible as you said it might be. I will stick with the tool tip for now. I hope you will implement something to keep the child headers visible at some point.
Thank you for the suggestion I was kind of mulling the grid within a grid as a solution but not sure how I would implement that so I will look at your sample. For now I have created a tool tip for each cell so the user can hover to get the heading text.
Thank you for taking time to look at this and provide a sample for me. I will try it out this weekend.
