Hi,  
I have Ignition 7.9.11 with Alarm Status Table.  
How can I disable title movement? I want only constant titles on the top row.

Thanks.

> You would need to drill into the inner table, nested inside the component, and modify its header renderer(s). There’s nothing directly exposed. Some reading:

You need to find the inner `JTable` (technically a `JideTable`, but that's not really relevant here) instance on the component. From there, you can call [`getTableHeader()`](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.desktop/javax/swing/JTable.html#getTableHeader()) and then you can [`setResizingAllowed(False)`](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.desktop/javax/swing/table/JTableHeader.html#setResizingAllowed(boolean)) or `setReorderingAllowed(False)`.

Hi,

I am talking about disabling dragging the column headers.

Thanks.

…yes?  
If you disable resizing and reordering, the header won’t allow you to drag columns around.

There is no simple property. You have to follow the process I mentioned in my first post. There is no way to do what you want without scripting.
