[Solved] Dynamically show/hide column

[Jerry]

Hi there,

Is it possible to show/hide a column based on the column name?

If so, could you give me one example?


thank you

Hello Jerry,

With Q3 Release of Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC which happened yesterday we introduced client API for showing/hiding columns. I.e grid.showColumn/hideColumn("column name")

There is also a column  header context menu for showing/hiding columns. You can see more on the demo bellow:http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/columncontextmenu

Thank you, good news.


Could you tell me where can I find the documentation for the latest release?
I tried here, but cannot find anything related to show/hide column.


I don't think the columncontextmenu sloves my problem, I need to show/hide column based on user's action.

appreciated

Hello Jerry,

The documentations for this feature is missing. This api is quite simple: showColumn/hideColumn takes the name of the field to which the column is bound to or the index of the column in client columns collection.

I.e grid.hideColumn("OrderID") or grid.hideColumn(0)
