Title: Make a fixed column look and behave like a header row
Post by: jplevene on March 11, 2026, 02:45:33 am

I have one fixed column in a grid and I want it's cells to behave and look like column header cells (same background, same font and not selectable).  How do I do this?

There is no inbuilt option for that.

you can do it manually by inspecting the styles of header cells and copying them to the body cells.

These options may be of help

It's not focus I want to skip on the column, it is select

Editability and cell navigation can be controlled at the column level (for example, using `editable` or `column.skipFocus`). However, the **cell selection overlay itself cannot be controlled at the column level**.

Selection behavior is handled by the grid’s global `selectionModel`, so the overlay applies uniformly across the grid rather than being configurable per column or per cell.

I have added a feature request as other grids have have ways to disable cell selection.
