Add a command column in a dynamic grid

[Frederic]

Hello,

I have a grid that is dynamically filled with data that I do not know the name and I want to add a command column to this grid but it seems that I need to define the colums before this command column like this :

$("#grid").kendoGrid({
  columns: [
    { field: "name" },
    { command: [{ className: "btn-destroy", name: "destroy", text: "Remove" }] }
  ],
  editable: true,
  dataSource: [ { name: "Jane Doe" } ]
});

But I can't because as I said I don't know the names of my columns ... How can I do this ?

Thanks.

Hi Frederic,

 
Including command column will remove the auto-generated columns - that's why the desired behavior will require custom solution. For example you can get one of the dataItems passed to the dataSource and generate the columns based on current properties that are available in the object.

For convenience I created small jsBin example based on the above solution which you can use as a baseline.
