Well, somebody mentioned a MX data grid which I have never used.
But what you could do is to put the datagrid in a div with overflow set to auto.
Then, with jQuery, it should be quite trivial to clone the header row and 
insert it in another div right above the data grid's div and hide the original 
header row.
With a little fiddling that should give you the static headers you are aiming 
for.

  Subject: ASP.Net scrollable datagrid, but with static/unmoving column headers


  Don't think there are too many guys involved in/looking into ASP.Net on VI 
programming lists, but specifically, at the moment, trying to figure out how to 
implement static/unmoving column headers for an ASP.Net datagrid, with the 
specific issue being that since there are quite a few datarows being rendered 
in a datagrid, they want the column headers to stay static/floating above the 
then scrollable columns of data, and was just wondering if anyone had ideas off 
hand.

  My own would be to in fact implement a static HTML table above the datagrid, 
with the column headers in it, and then implement the datagrid in something 
like either an inline frame, or a normal frame to allow the browser to scroll 
up and down inside it, while still seeing the column headers above, but the 
primary issue so far is I don't seem to be able to query/find a rendition of 
the column widths etc. from the datagrid control, but have otherwise been 
thinking about in fact chucking out the datagrid control as such, and just 
something closer to older, classic ASP to in fact just render the HTML output 
version of something like this, and would then just base the column widths on 
something like a certain number of pixels/points per letter of the column name, 
and would then use something closer to the classic ASP/PHP outputting of the 
data table inside another frame or something.

  Thoughts/examples/suggestions?

  Stay well
