TcxGridDBBandedColumn how to move inside band and not move outside of the band

Question

I want in TcxGridDBBandedColumn not to be moved outside of the band. Is that possible? And if how?

Answer 1

The tcxGrid provides a way to get something similar to the behaviour you're envisaging, but it may not give you close enough control over the column-moving behaviour.

Load the Devex demo project 'ExpressQuantumGridViewBandedFixedDemo' and run it.

Notice that you can drag the Sunday column header to drag it to a different position in the Days band or even into a different band.

Now, in the Object Inspector, select the btvUsersSchedule.Bands[0] , open its Options tree and set HoldOwnColumnsOnly to True .

Do the same for btvUsersSchedule.Bands[0] .

Once done, columns from the Days band can no longer be dragged into either of those bands.

Now, you can move the Sunday column only within the Days band.

If the above doesn't fully meet the behaviour you would like, please explain why in terms of that demo, because readers who might be able to help will have access to it.

Finally, in the IDE, select the btvUsersScheduleSUNDAY column in the Object Inspector. Open its Options tree and set Moving to False .

Now you can't move the Sunday column at all.
