Scroll horizontally on grid while dragging column?

[mand...@gmail.com]

I'm working with Slickgrid to display a large data set which may be used with anywhere from a few to 50 columns. I need the ability for users to reorder the columns as they wish, which I am currently able to do but with some inconvenience. If I happen to be grabbing the very last column and moving it to the front of a grid with several horizontal window widths of columns, I have to drag/drop and manually scroll left multiple times before I get the column positioned where I want it.

Does anyone know if there's a way to force the grid to automatically scroll horizontally based on where I'm trying to drag a column (i.e. when I attempt to drag the column outside the current grid viewport)?

Thanks!

That's a good question...

I believe you may need to look into one of the Slick.grid.js or helper JS file internal functions to look at drag events and trigger the horizontal scroll.  I am not in favor of the potential headaches...

My opinion though is to try an alternative approach and create an external select list to re-order select options, set the columns in that order and then re-render the grid.  I think you'll save more time that way and users can see an easier way to reorder.

Your alternative method seems like a much better solution anyway, thanks for the tip!

In my "view" configuration editor, I use the drag row plugin to set the order of columns for each grid I have displayed, so users can set this and save the column order permanently.  You may want to consider having the column order saved in the users profile.
