Fixed grid fields

Investment Studio > Objects > Grid > Customizing > Fixed fields

To enable fixed fields (non-scrolling, uneditable record fields), use the Grid pop-up menu's Customize submenu or the equivalent push-button in the Grid's toolbar:

Fixed fields. When this button is depressed, record fields which have been marked as fixed in the record definition are uneditable and non-scrolling: if record display is rowwise (columnwise) fixed fields are drawn as header-style, reliefed cells which always remain visible in the leftmost columns (topmost rows) while ordinary cells are scrolled in and out of sight.

The record definition may not define any fixed fields, in which case this setting will have no effect.

Do not confuse fixed fields with field headers. The Grid object always provides a non-scrolling header cell for each record field, whether fixed fields are enabled or not. Field header cells are orthogonal to fixed fields, i.e. if record display is rowwise (columnwise), field header cells will be in the leftmost column (topmost row) while fixed fields will be in the topmost rows (leftmost columns).
