Hello everyone,

In my project, I am using a Power Table. As more columns are added, the table becomes horizontally scrollable. The first two columns contain critical information, so they must always remain visible.

Is there a way to freeze (lock/pin) the first two columns in an Ignition Power Table so they stay visible while scrolling?

Any ideas or workarounds would be appreciated.  
I am using Ignition v8.1.48

Thank you!

I think not directly. At least it is not easy.  
The easiest way I found was taking 2 powertables and linking the scroll bars together. You’d have to go down to the java functions to do that though. I’ll see if i can find the exaple again.

Yes, there is a way.

Well, I guess this was as good of one as any, as I have been meaning to make a solution for this for some time for my own applications. Anyway, here is how you can do it. On your table component (can be either a Power Table or a standard Table) create a custom property. I’ve called it hasFrozenColumns, this is to ma…

Hello,  
I tried working on it, but I am facing an issue: the last row gets hidden. If it is not hidden, I am unable to scroll properly. If you have any reference code for linking the scrollbars of two Power Tables in sync, could you please share it?
