Hide DataGrid column on the fly

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:

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.
Regards,
Larry

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