Re: [nebula-dev] "Freeze Pane" feature to prevent Grid columns from being hidden when scrolling

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your feedback. It's good to know that you are aware of this requirement. In support of the proposed change, I have downloaded the code and make my own change to the onPaint method of the Grid class to implement a single (and very simple) implementation of a frozen column. This will satisfy my needs. I will look forward to future versions of the Grid control.

Thanks again.

P.S. I'm happy to provide you with the code, however it is only designed to satisfy my immediate requirement. I expect someone like yourself, with a much greater familiarity of the Grid control, could implement a much better, long-term solution.

No not yet. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=166089 I'm
in (private) contact with another person who wants this feature but I
 
didn't had the time to think how much time it will take me to implement
the feature.

You are welcome. Though 99% of the code is coming from Chris Gross!
