Hide column at runtime

[Madzie]

Hi,
Is there a way out to hide column at definition time itself ? Say, a variable contains true/false value that determines if a column is to be shown/hidden.
Any template or anything ? I use the the client side scripting.​
I know this one,
but it is on user action, i would like to hide/show columns at time of definition itself.

Hi Madhuri,


To achieve this you could use the dataBound event of the Grid and hide/show columns via the API in the event handler.
E.g.

function onDataBound(e) {
    this.hideColumn(0);
}

But this dataBound event is called n times, n = number of rows !
Any other effective way out ?

Hi Madhuri,


The dataBound event is fired once, when the widget is bound to the data from the dataSource. Could you please try the approach on your side and let me know if it covers the current requirements?
