TreeList with dynamic columns

[Clinton Smyth]

Hello

Is there a way to add/remove/edit TreeList columns dynamically? We need to allow the user to manipulate the columns and the data in them.

Thanks

Hi Clinton,

Based on your post, I believe that your application requires having a TreeList that can show/hide its columns. Also, the TreeList should be editable. Please, correct me if I am wrong.

To show and hide columns, use a Column menu:

To edit the records, enable the editing:

Thanks for the links, however, this is not how our app works.

Our app requires that the user can dynamically create any number of columns they wish at run time, so it's not just a matter of hiding/unhiding columns. They specify a column name and select a potential list of values that can be populated in this column. They can also update this list of possible values and assign them to rows in the TreeList as they progress their work in the app.

Is there perhaps some jQuery that can achieve this?

Thanks

Hello Chris,

Generally speaking, the TreeList does not support setting dynamic options out-of-the-box. The only thing that I could suggest is destroying and recreating the widget with the new configuration options. 

For example, check this test Dojo:

I hope the above is useful.
