Grid SelectionMode.MULTI without checkboxes column

Flow
1

Hi,

I have a grid in which I want to enable MULTI selection mode. However, when I enable this, I automatically get an additional checkboxes column. I don’t mind the existence of this column too much but due to the fact my first 4 columns are frozen, this causes visual glitches. In essence, when I scroll horizontally, the checkboxes are not frozen themselves which results in users seeing content moving behind it.

As such, I need to either (1) set this column to “frozen” (i.e. sticky, it doesn’t move when scrolling horizontally) or (2) remove this column all together.

I’ve looked for solutions elsewhere already, but failed to find them. Hopefully you can lend a hand in this matter.
