[Solved] Dynamic Deletion and Creation of Columns

[Ryan Caskey]

Hello,

  I'm trying to write and app where I have a list of available columns for a grid, and i can click and drag those column names onto the grid to show those columns.  This works fine, however I am having problems trying to remove the column by clicking and dragging it off.  I would like to have a lot of the logic of what columns are visible and it what order all done server side, as I will be doing some server side work with the columns they've selected.  I was going to attach what I have so far but it's not letting me (since it's not a jpeg)

Still no ideas about this?  Does anyone know if any future versions of Telerik will have this functionality built in (or at least more events that we can bind to for each column header?)  I'm also trying to figure out when someone clicks on a column, but can't seem to find any server-side events for click or anything on the columns.

Hello Ryan,

Please check out this online demo to see how you can use RadGrid header context menu to hide and show columns.
Give it a try and let me know if it works for you.

Kind regards,

While it seems that using the context menu would give me the ability to remove a column, we were hoping to use a drag and drop interface to add and remove columns from a grid.  The user has a list of possible columns on the left, and drags the ones they want onto the grid, and we wanted them to be able to drag a column off the grid if they no longer wanted it.

In regard to having an event where someone clicks on a column, I was able to bind my code to the sort event.
