Is it possible to interactively freeze columns?

[sabrina c.]

I've taken a look at the SfDatagrid sample called Freeze Panes which shows the possibility to "Pin" columns and rows to let them remain into view.

However I come from a different set of components where both in WInForms and WPF on the grid besides the Filtering it is possible to activate the Column Pinning where clicking a Pin button on the column header the Column is moved in the Freezed zone and remains visible, then I can add more pinned columns or I can "unpin" them clicking again on the pin button.

This is a nice feature when the grid has many columns to allow to see different views of the columns when necessary.

Is there something to develop this kind of feature or has it to be build from scratch using code and the 4 freeze zones?

Another question on this matter: When the grid is a Master+Detail is it possible to freeze the Expansion indicator so that it don't disappears when scrolling horizontally?

Thank you in advance
