How to add a new templated column to a grid on click event?

[Joonu]

Hi,

I have a grid that has 2 columns, something like the following:

Country India USA

GDP ($ trn) 1.85 15.09

Inflation (%) 7.9 2.0

Countries are selectable from dropdown lists, whereas the statistics pertaining to them are shown in read-only textboxes.

Now on top of the grid, I have a button titled 'Add', on clicking which a new templated column needs to get added to the grid. In the new column, I should be able to select a country from the dropdown list and then enter values for its GDP and inflation rate (textboxes for GDP and inflation in the new column are editable, unlike the ones for existing columns, which are read-only.)

Would the gridbuilder class be useful here? I was just taking a casual look at its documentation, don't know if it could help me.

Please advise on how this could be done.

Hello Joonu,

I am afraid that the Grid does not support dynamically adding/removing columns. You can only hide/show columns with the corresponding methods of the client API.

I am sorry for any inconvenience caused.
