Hide DataGrid column on the fly

[lohill]

I know I can hide a button under program control with a command like:
set the visible of button "MyButton" to false

I would like to be able to hide a column of a datagrid on the fly. I have tried things like:
'set the visible of column "MyCol" of group "DataGrid 1" to false' - but I get an error message.

It can be done in the Property Inspector so there must be a way under program control.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Larry

Hi Larry,

Try:

Code: Select all

set the dgColumnIsVisible["myCol"] of grp "myDatagrid" to false

Where:
- myCol is the name of the column to hide
- myDatagrid is the name of the datagrid

Hi Larry,

...
set the dgColumnIsVisible ["Your column name here"] of grp "Your datagrid here" to FALSE
..
Not tested, but should work

Please load this PDF as the one and only DataGrid reference:

Damn, one minute too late for my excellent hint

Thank you Gentlemen,

The dgColumnsVisible command is not present on the eight or so pages of datagrid commands I keep in from of at all times. It has now been added to my list.

Whoops - That should be dgColumnIsVisible - singular column 'invisible.

Thanks again
