hi,to solve this user-experience problem, i used the Fixedheadertable extension (member only extension) AND the doubleclic action on row.
So having many columns in a table is not a problem anymore.Solved !

hi,

i give a tips.
even the Fixedheadertable is good solution, i added some useful features :

with the function ListOptions_Rendered() , i had a tootips on the cell which are display the content of the hidden column.
andi change the cursor icon to help the user understand there is an information to read.

by exemple, in the list page, when the user is on the 45e column and need to know the Name which is in the column 1, there he can put the mouse cursor on the cell and wait the tootips to read the column 1 content ! As the mouse cursor changed, he guessed himself the feature.

how i did that ?
in the server function ListOptions_Rendered() :

$this->my_field_in_column45->CellAttrs[“style”] = “cursor: pointer;”;
$this->my_field_in_column45->CellAttrs[“title”]=$this->my_field_in_column1_firstname->ViewValue." ".$this->my_field_in_column2_name->ViewValue;

users told me it is more userful than freeze column

You’re welcome !
