Okay, I built the stack and tested it under Windows 10. The 3 beeps are
intentional. It is to let me know when it is done as some test with 500+
columns/rows takes a while. It does display under LC9.6.8 (64 bit) on
Windows 10.
Now I have to go try it on macOS?

Hi Paul,
I downloaded your sample stack, put 100 into the Columns field, heard 3 audible
beeps but no data (or PolyGrid) appeared. There is data in the pgcolumnnames
and pgdata custom properties (so those values were defined). It’s just the grid
that did not appear. Thinking it might be my laptop (apple silicon M1) I tried
it on an Intel MacBook Pro and got the same result.
I am a big fan of being able to lock top and left-most column/rows of any grid
and would happily endorse your request.
Cheers,
Mark

So, I bought the Summer Bundle. Yes, it is a good deal.
In my case it was primarily for the Polygrid widget. Our application uses a
Datagrid to display customer research data. The columns headers are text and
the left most column ROWs are test and all other cells are numbers. Some
customers can have quite large data sets and I have been running into the
number of columns (ad a default width of 100px per column) exceeding a GROUPs
32,767px width maximum (about 327-328 columns). At this point the Datagrid just
fails - no data is displayed.
I can now attest that a Polygrid (under LC 9.6.8) does not have this limit. I have a
"test" stack (for Datagrid testing) I converted to the Polygrid and can easily
generate 1000 columns x 1000 rows of data and it works.
So I guess the answer to bug https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23875 is
"Use the PolyGrid"
On that note, the Datagrid has 2 features I use in this specific case, user
column resizing (built into the Polygrid - Yea!) and column sorting (NOT built
into the Polygrid - Boo!). So, does anyone have some column sort code for the
Polygrid they have written that they might be willing to share?
Also, I have filled a Polygrid enhancement request to allow the left column (or
the left N columns) to be locked/frozen, so they remain visible when the
Polygrid is scrolled horizontally. See
https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23880. If you might benefit from
this enhancement, please follow the bug or add a comment to that effect.
