Column Customization

Users can do the following to customize grid columns at runtime:

Reorder Columns
Drag the column's header to reorder the column.

Resize columns
Drag the edge of the column's header to resize the column.

Fix (pin) columns
Invoke a context menu in a column's header and specify whether to fix the column to the left or right. The fixed column remains visible when users scroll the view horizontally.

  • Component property: columnFixing.enabled
  • Column property: columns[].fixed - if enabled, fixes a column to the left; columns[].fixedPosition - specifies whether to fix a column to the left or right

Show and hide columns
Click the Column Chooser button to access hidden columns. Drag the column's header between the Column Chooser and the grid to change the column's visibility.

  • Component property: columnChooser.enabled
  • Column property: columns[].visible
