Grid.hideColumn method while the grid is not shown

[Philippe]

Hello,

Here is a short description about how we use KendoUI grid in our project :
- An http request is made from the browser to the server to get a JSON object that contains the grid structure (datatype, name, etc...)
- The grid is dynamically built with the JSON object content
- Some column must be hidden just after the grid construction, so, we use databound event :

dataBound : function() {

[...]

for (var i = 0; i < as_ColumnsToHide.length; i++) {
                ao_Grid.hideColumn(as_ColumnsToHide[i]);
            }

[...]

}

When this code is processed, the grid is not visible as it is in a tabstrip component from Telerik ASP.NET Ajax.
An error is raised from hideColumn() method after this "filter" directive :

cell = leafDataCells(container).filter(":visible").eq(headerCellIndex);
cell[0].style.display = "none";

cell[0].style is undefined because the filter method return 0 element.

Could you please see if there is a simple workaround in my situation ?
Regards.

Note that this error is raised since we have upgraded to the latest available kendoUI version (v2014.3.1119)

Hello Philippe,

The described problem was fixed shortly after the 2014.3.1119 release. Please use the latest internal Kendo UI build.

Hi Evgeniy,

The following example uses Kendo UI 2016.2.504 and works as expected. Am I missing something? Please verify that you are using the specified version.
