I know you can hide columns client-side using masterTableView.hideColumn(columnIndex). However, this leads to very difficult to maintain code since column ordinals can change frequently. Is there a way to find a column by UniqueName or DataField client side and then call .hide() or show() functions, or set_visible() , or something to that effect?

You should be able to use the method described in the following post to get the column's index by unique name, then call the hideColumn() method using the found index.

Source: http://www.telerik.com/forums/how-to-get-column-index-from-column-name-at-client-side

 

Modified function:

function hideColumnByUniqueName(columnName) {
    var masterTableView = $find('<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>').get_masterTableView();
    var column = masterTableView.getColumnByUniqueName(columnName);
    var element = column.get_element();
    masterTableView.hideColumn(element.cellIndex);
}

 

Hope this helps

Thanks. That seems to have worked. Hopefully they'll just add hide/show methods to the column object at some point in the future.
