Wpf – Freezing columns in wpf datagrid

datagridwpfwpfdatagridwpftoolkit

I have some tabular data which has a lot of fields in it, and when my WPF application is resized a lot of them are cut off. However, I want to see the first 6 columns always as they are important. How can I achieve this in a grid format? I am using the WPFToolkit DataGrid but can be persuaded to change to a different control if one exists.

Right now, I am using two different DataGrids side by side with the right most datagrid inside a scrollviewer with horizontal scrolling on and the vertical scrolling off. I will also have to either sync the two for sorting purposes or disable sorting altogether.

Okay, it's trivial in that control, all you have to do is set FrozenColumnCount = "6", in my case. Maybe someone else will need this and they can laugh at my stupidity.

I figured out a solution. Don't know if this is the same way you did it or not:

<toolkit:DataGrid.CellStyle>
    <Style TargetType="{x:Type toolkit:DataGridCell}">
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type toolkit:DataGridCell}">
                    <ContentPresenter>
                        <ContentPresenter.LayoutTransform>
                            <ScaleTransform ScaleX="{Binding Path=Value, ElementName=ZoomFactor}"
                                            ScaleY="{Binding Path=Value, ElementName=ZoomFactor}" />
                         </ContentPresenter.LayoutTransform>
                     </ContentPresenter>
                 </ControlTemplate>
             </Setter.Value>
         </Setter>
     </Style>
 </toolkit:DataGrid.CellStyle>

Where ZoomFactor is a slider:

<Slider x:Name="ZoomFactor"
        Value="1"
        Minimum=".25"
        Maximum="5"
        Width="180" Margin="0,0,5,0"/>

C# – How to autoscroll on WPF datagrid

You should use the datagrid method

datagrid.ScrollIntoView(itemInRow);

datagrid.ScrollIntoView(itemInRow, column);

this way provides no messing around finding the scroll viewer etc.
