A much simpler way to do it that we use is to RETURN .F. in each column's textbox, except the
freezed one, of course.
If you found yourself doing this frequently, you can instrument your textbox base class' WHEN to do it automatically when the textbox is in a column's grid and some grid property is ON. You can
defreeze the columns you need either by having a property playing around or by breaking inheritance (that depends in how lazy you'are) 8-)
Hope this helps.

>Grid have LeftColumn property that indicates which column in
visible part of grid is currently leftmost. Note that leftmost column in visible part shown always completely (unless it is larger than grid width). You can replace this column by some other, (fixed) column, using column.ColumnOrder property. However, you should do this each time grid scrolled horizontally. This means you should do this not only in Scrolled event of grid, but in many other events that fired after grid scrolls self horizontally. For example, this occurs when you resize columns or move columns at right edge of grid, or you click header of column that partially displayed at right edge of grid, or just set focus to grid and focused column in grid is not in visible part. Post of such automatic scrollings does not fire Scrolled event, so you need to catch these in other events of controls, headers or grid.
