Overview

Theming

Both the igGrid and igHierarchicalGrid controls feature column moving in the grid. Column moving allows you to change the order of the columns as they appear in the grid. The column moving features has two modes:

The immediate mode moves the column header while you are dragging it and animates the swapping of other grid columns. The moving of the column contents is performed when you drop the column header.

Deferred mode uses arrows to show which position the column will be placed if you drop it.

Further information regarding the classes, options, events, methods and themes of this API are available under the associated tabs above.

The following code snippet demonstrates how to initialize the igGrid control with column moving feature.

Default:: 2.0

Specifies a multiplier for the delay between subsequent scroll operations. The larger this number is, the slower scrolling will appear to be.

Code Sample

 
				//Initialize
				$(".selector").igGrid({
					features : [
						{
							name : "ColumnMoving",
							scrollSpeedMultiplier: 4.0
						}
					]
				});

				//Get
				var scrollSpeedMultiplier = $(".selector").igGridColumnMoving("option", "scrollSpeedMultiplier");

Using Events in Ignite UI.

Note: Calling API methods programmatically does not raise events related to their operation unless specifically stated otherwise by the corresponding API documentation; those events are only raised by their respective user interaction.

changeLocale

.igGridColumnMoving( "changeLocale" );
Changes the all locales into the widget element to the language specified in options.language
Note that this method is for rare scenarios, see language or locale option setter.
Code Sample
```
 
				$(".selector").igGridColumnMoving("changeLocale");
			 
```
destroy

.igGridColumnMoving( "destroy" );
Restoring overwritten functions.
Code Sample
```
 
				$(".selector").igGridColumnMoving("destroy");
			 
```
moveColumn

.igGridColumnMoving( "moveColumn", column:object, target:object, [after:bool], [inDom:bool], [callback:function] );
Moves a visible column at a specified place, in front or behind a target column or at a target index
Note: This method is asynchronous which means that it returns immediately and any subsequent code will execute in parallel. This may lead to runtime errors. To avoid them put the subsequent code in the callback parameter provided by the method.
- column
- Type:object
- An identifier of the column to be moved. It can be a key, a Multi-Column Header identificator, or an index in a number format. The latter is not supported when the grid contains multi-column headers.
- target
- Type:object
- An identifier of a column where the moved column should move to or an index at which the moved column should be moved to. In the case of a column identifier the column will be moved after it by default.
- after
- Type:bool
- Optional
- Specifies whether the column moved should be moved after or before the target column.
- inDom
- Type:bool
- Optional
- Specifies whether the column moving will be enacted through DOM manipulation or through rerendering of the grid.
- callback
- Type:function
- Optional
- Specifies a custom function to be called when the column is moved.
Code Sample
```
 
				// calling method with column indexes
				$(".selector").igGridColumnMoving("moveColumn", 0, 1, true, false);

				// calling method with column keys
				$(".selector").igGridColumnMoving("moveColumn", "ProductId", "ProductName", true, true);

				// calling method with column keys and function callback
				$(".selector").igGridColumnMoving("moveColumn", "ProductId", "ProductName", true, true, function () {
					// Custom code executed after the move operation finishes
				});
