Hide/Show column in edit mode depending on value of other column

[Peter]

Hi 

I have a grid with several GridDropDownColumn. 
I want to be able to show/hide of few of these GridDropDownColumn depending on what is selected in on of the other GridDropDownColumn.

How can I perform this? Is it possible client side.

I know how to find a Dropdowncontrol if I use GridTemplateColumn and disable the control but I would prefer the show/hide the entire column

Hi Peter,

Some of the columns generate their editing controls automatically, which brings convenience to the developer constructing the grid CRUD system. GridNumericColumn, for example, creates a RadNumericTextBox input control to enable only numeric characters when updating a numeric field. The ID of the automatically generated control starts with the RNTB prefix, which is abbreviation for RadNumericTextBox.

Copy Code

var numBox = $telerik.findControl(container, "RNTB_numboxID");

When Template form is used, however, the ID of any inner control is set manually. And it can be accessed later on using the same ID.

I suggest that you check the sample provided in the following post:

I hope this will prove helpful.

I can get the control by ID, but it is possible to get row in the editform that contains the control and hide the entire row or get the label/header control and hide that as well

Hi Peter,

Generally, you can use the someTelerikControl.get_parent() method to access the container grid item. It may require that you generate the items objects beforehand using grid.get_masterTableView().get_dataItems().
