Support row templates in conjunction with frozen / locked columns
Telerik's answer here really disappoints me. There is a way to do it, somebody in dev. probably just shot back at management that it's not possible because they didn't want to code it. There's no reason they couldn't use a detail row under the locked column table that is blank, then simply use the existing detail row rendered in the non-locked columns table. Users in most cases would be willing to deal with an offset detail row. I can even think of at least 2 other ways to implement this feature. In development, there's no such thing as "it's not possible". It saddens me Telerik took that stance with this feature.
Vineela commented · Just Now · Delete I have read the comments provided by the Admin team on this issue, But is there any work around for freezing the column, when I am using a template. Kindly provide your suggestion
Unfortunately your request cannot be fulfilled, due to the conflict nature of the frozen columns feature vs row/detail templates. I apologize if you consider my reply unhelpful, this was not my intention - sorry for not providing this explanation in my initial response.
I'm well aware of that; I'm stating that the feature is of value to me. I added this suggestion so that other people might vote on it and you could learn how many people feel this would be of value. I consider your response to be rude and unhelpful.
Row and detail templates are not supported with frozen columns, as stated in this article section: http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/getting-started/web/grid/walkthrough#frozen-columns-locked-columns
