I am looking for a way to have a Splitter Bar (e.g., UltraSplitter) separate the Fixed (pinned) Columns from the Non-Fixed Columns.
I know that you can "turn on" the splitter bars that can be sized from the Scroll area, but I am not sure how they work or way you would use this feature as configured (I could not find any examples). I am sure I must be missing how these splitter bars work...
Thanks,

Hi Rich,
I'm not sure I understand what functionality you want here. How would this work? You cannot fix part of a column. So the splitter bar you are describing here would only allow certain discrete positions at the edges of columns. Is that what you want?
There is no UI feature like that built-in to the grid. But you could Submit a feature request to Infragistics.
Thanks for the replay, I am sorry I was not clear!
The vision is to have a vertical splitter bar (much like the ultrasplitterbar) that can be used to change the width of what is displayed. On the left side will be a set of columns (they canbe designated by pinning or dropped in from the right side, etc.) and on the right the "other" columns. The idea is that those on the left will be independently displayed from those on the right while allowing the use to control what is seen by moving the splitter bar.
I hope that this makes more sense...
No, Thanks!
Hello,
Do you have any further questions regarding this issue?
Thanks Mike for your ideas!
I will look into the groups. I thought about using two grids, but wanted to make sure that I was overlooking a feature of the ultragrid!
Okay, so you don't want a bar that changes which columns are fixed, you want to be able to resize the fixed/unfixed columns as a group.
There's nothing like that built-in to the grid. If your fixed columns are, umm... fixed.... that is, you are fixing them in code and the users cannot change them, then one thing you could do is use Groups. You could create a group to contain all of the fixed columns and another one to contain all of the unfixed columns. Then you just fix the group instead of the columns and the users can resize the group in addition to resizing the columns. That's not really what you are describing here, but it's the sorta close.
Another option might be to use two grids in a container separated by an actual Splitter or UltraSplitter control. Each grid could have it's AutoFitStyle set so that the widths of the columns within the grid are sized to the width of the grid.
