[Solved] Radgrid autogenerated column - hide column

[kachy]

I have a radgrid with autogenerated columns. I hide one column when the grid is created. I see the hidden column name in the columnheader context menu, if I try to show the hidden column, it does not show properly. I am hiding the column in radgrid columncreated server side event  by making the display false for that particular column.
Is there another way to hide the column, may be in any client side event after the radgrid loads properly server side, so that the hidden column shows properly from the column header context menu?

Thanks.

Hello Kachy,

You can hide the autogenerated  column using its UniqueName which would be same as the DataField of the column:
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender1(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("TitleOfCourtesy").Visible = false;
    }

I have tried doing the same thing this way but  it also gives me the same result, when I try to show this hidden column from column context menu, it does not show properly and also as this prerender event runs everytime I sort or do any action which prerenders the grid, hides it again.

protected

 

void RadGridReportWeek_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)

 

{

 

if( RadGridReportWeek.MasterTableView.RenderColumns.Length > 4 )

 

{

RadGridReportWeek.MasterTableView.RenderColumns[4].Display =

false;

 

}

}

Can I hide the column client side, once its rendered properly on server side, so that the width and other formatting are proper when shown from ContextMenu.
something like this:

 

var

 

masterTable = $find("<%=RadGridReportWeek.ClientID%>").get_masterTableView();

 

 

var column = masterTable.getColumnByUniqueName("EnrollmentDate");

 

masterTable.hideColumn(column.get_element().cellIndex);

Thanks
