Disable filter on hidden column

[Анатолий]

Hello.

In kendo-grid I need to switch off filters on columns that user is hiding.

I tried to get field names from columns in ColumnVisibilityChangeEvent and then find them in grid filter. But there can be situations when in column and in filter there are different fields. For example - in column "StatusName" and in filter - "StatusId". Is there a way to solve this problem? How can I know filter field name in columnVisibilityChange?

Hello Anatoliy,

The most straight-forward approach is to check the field of the columns whose visibility is changed is to iterate the returned columns and check the field property:

 <kendo-grid
            (columnVisibilityChange)="onColChange($event)"
...
>
...
 </kendo-grid> 

 onColChange(e: ColumnVisibilityChangeEvent) {
    e.columns.forEach((col:any) => {
      console.log(col.field);
    });
  }

Please keep in mind that the field property is not part of the ColumnBase object thus any type needs to be used in this case.

I know about this. And how can I get a filter field name for this column?

Hi Anatoliy,

I am not sure that I understand correctly the use case.

What I could suggest is to log the returned ColumnVisibilityChangeEvent and check which properties are available when the event is triggered.
