Accessing invisible column data from clientside

[Meenakshi Nagalingam]

Hi,

I am using RadGrid of version "2009.2.701.35". I need have some 5 to 7 columns as invisible columns.  My template column goes like this:
<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="" UniqueName="colAttributeId" DataField="AttributeId" ItemStyle-Width="0px" HeaderStyle-Width="0px">
<HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Center"></HeaderStyle>
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
<ItemTemplate><asp:Label ID="lblAttributeId" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("AttributeId") %>'></asp:Label></ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

 

But in the screen the borders are getting displayed (which we want to avoid). Please see the screenshot attached.

We want to access those data from clientside. If we made the column's visible property as 'False' means we couldnt access those data from clientside javascript code. So we specified the width as "0px".

I tried even setting the border's to 0px, it shows an empty space.
<HeaderStyle BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="0px" />
<ItemStyle BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="0px" />

If anyone know how to access the invisible column's data from client-side pls share with me.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Meenkshi,

Try setting Display property instead of Visible and see whether it helps.

[Display property indicates whether the cells corresponding to a column should be rendered with a 'display:none' style attribute. Visible property is useful if you do not want to show/hide a column or completely prevent cells from rendering, server-side. ]
