Lock left most column on Records Window (Individual Records)

Post by Demetrius Livi »

I use a large monitor and have added numerous events to the Records Window grouped in little associated sub blocks, even on my large monitor and using short data display the column spread stretched beyone the monitor width.

On the software I am migrating from the left most column is automatically locked in position and the rest of the data scrolls maintaining the individual focus on the left, I believe Excel call this action framing.

Having the ability to display and sort lots of data is negated by the fact this column is not locked, that in conjunction with lack of row highlighting it's easy to lose ones way.

Please consider these enhancements for the next version, they would seem easy to add.

Welcome to the FHUG Demetrius.

There already is Wish List entry Ref 290 Lock the Column(s) in Records Window that you can Vote for.

May I suggest that before posting your request here, could you please check the Wish List entries to see if it has already been requested.
