Any plans for an update to allow FixedHeaders with Horizontal Scrolling? Any Workarounds?

I saw in previous discussions that this was planned on being added to the plug-in. Just curious to see if there was any estimate in timing and if there were any known workarounds in the meantime? Thanks!

I presume you mean with scrollX enabled?

No plans in the short or medium term. It is a long term wish of mine, but too many other things to be done first and to be honest this is a fairly low priority.

Workaround? There isn't one (edit I had suggested FixedColumns, but that probably isn't what you are looking for).

Thanks for the quick response Allan! Yes to clarify I meant using scrollX DT with FixedHeader. I saw you had mentioned that it had been requested many times and that you may be adding it soon in the following two discussion threads, so I just figured I'd check.

Definitely appreciate the plug-in and I'll keep an eye out for this feature in case there is time for it in the future

Yes, very certainly something I want to add in, and possibly wouldn't be too difficult to be honest, but there just isn't enough time available at the moment.

I understand, thanks Allan!
