Grid - What Does Locking Columns Do??

Hi,

What exactly does Lock Column do?? I can still sort, edit, and move columns when locked - what does locking a column achieve?

Thanks,

Dan

If a grid has horizontal scrolling, it freezes the locked column in place while the other columns can scroll. It is similar to Freeze Panes in Excel. You can see it in action in the Array Grid Example (http://www.extjs.com/deploy/ext/examples/grid/array-grid.html). Make a few of the columns wider to cause a horizontal scroll bar to appear. Right-click on a column header and Lock the column. Then, try scrolling horizontally.
