[Solved] Hiding and showing column using client api

[Shane]

Hi Guys,

I have a GridClientSelectColumn and I don't want to display at the start, and we a user click on a button, the GridClientSelectColumn should show.

Few problems:
1. I can hide the column at the start using visible or display property. But I am unable to display the column back using

 var column1 = $find("<%=rg.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView().get_columns()[0];
        column1.set_visible(true)

2. When I hide the column, the space still occupied!

Basically, I would like to hide and show a column using client API.

Is this possible? Please advise me!

Cheers,
Shane

Hi Yavor,

You are a legend!

How do I toggle the display? I could show the column using RadGri1.get_masterTableView().showColumn(2); 

But how do I get the display property? so I can toggle accordingly!

Thanks for you help Yavor :)

Cheers,
Shane

Hi Shane,

You can get the display attribute as shown in the following snippet:

.Js
RadGri1.get_masterTableView().get_columns()[2].Display

I hope this helps.
