showColumn() Not Working from OnDataBound Client-Side

[Online .Net Developers]

I'm binding data on the Client Side using databind().  I have a client event for OnDataBound() that calls .showColumn or .hideColumn based on what type of user is currently logged in.

The problem is that when I call .showColumn(), it hides the column.  Calling .hideColumn also hides the column.

I call the same JavaScript code from a button and it works fine.

What am I missing?

Thanks.

p.s. I'm using version 2008.3.1125.20 in Visual Studio 2008, IE 7, and Windows XP.

Hi,

This is a bug and the fix will be included with our first official release for 2009. Please excuse us for the temporary inconvenience this may cause you. I updated your Telerik points for the report.

In the mean time, to avoid this behavior please set Display property to NULL for the column which is hidden if you want to show it again.

Here is a code snippet, which shows the implementation of our suggestion:

        function ClientDataBound(sender, args) {
            var grid = $find("<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>");
            if ("IsLoggedIn") {
                grid.get_masterTableView().showColumn(4);
                grid.get_masterTableView().get_columns()[4].Display = null;
            } else {
                grid.get_masterTableView().hideColumn(4);
            }
        }

The function DataBound() is attached to OnDataBound event.
I hope this information helps.
