Dynamic Column Selection

[ppbedz]

Is there any way to dynamically set the grid columns? It does not appear that you can bind a field to number of columns or column size. I wanted to resize my grid columns based on user input.

Example: I want the user to see standard comments for vendor and/or item number. If the vendor number is specified as input, they really don't need to see a column with the vendor number (same for item). I only want to show those columns if they have requested "all" vendors or "all" items. Even "group suppression" would be nice.

Thank you, Patti

I just discovered the removecolumn method. It works, however I would like to conditionally remove several columns. Is there a way, for example to remove columns 2-4 ? Also, how would I put them back? I was thinking I would code the "onload" to show whatever columns pertain to the user's selections..... ?

Patti,
You might try resizing the columns that you don't want to display to 0px width. This effectively hides the columns but would allow you to redisplay them by re-setting the width.
