ColumnName | ColumnName should be the field or the headerText of the column. |
Example:
In the following code examples, the CustomerID column is shown or hidden in the Grid.
JS
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#Grid").ejGrid({
// The DataSource "window.gridData" is referred from the jsondata.min.js.
dataSource: window.gridData,
allowPaging: true,
pageSettings: { pageCount: 7 },
columns: [
{ field: "OrderID", headerText: "Order ID", textAlign: ej.TextAlign.Right },
{ field: "CustomerID", headerText: 'Customer ID', textAlign: ej.TextAlign.Left },
{ field: "EmployeeID", headerText: 'Employee ID', textAlign: ej.TextAlign.Right },
{ field: "Freight", headerText: 'Freight', textAlign: ej.TextAlign.Right },
{ field: "OrderDate", headerText: 'Order Date', textAlign: ej.TextAlign.Right, format: "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}" }
]
});
$("#Hide").ejButton({ text: "Hide", size: "small", click: "showhide" });
$("#Show").ejButton({ text: "Show", size: "small", click: "showhide" });
</script>
MVC
@(Html.EJ().Grid<OrdersView>("HideColumn")
.Datasource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.datasource)
.Columns(col =>
{
col.Field("OrderID").HeaderText("OrderID").TextAlign(TextAlign.Right).Add();
col.Field("CustomerID").HeaderText("CustomerID ").TextAlign(TextAlign.Left).Add(); col.Field("EmployeeID").HeaderText("EmployeeID").TextAlign(TextAlign.Right).Add();
col.Field("Freight").HeaderText("Freight").TextAlign(TextAlign.Right).Add();
col.Field("OrderDate").HeaderText("Order Date").TextAlign(TextAlign.Right). Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}").Add();
})
)
@(Html.EJ().Button("Hide")
.Text("Hide").Size(ButtonSize.Normal)
.ClientSideEvents(eve => { eve.Click("showhide"); })
)
@(Html.EJ().Button("btnShow")
.Text("Show").Size(ButtonSize.Normal)
.ClientSideEvents(eve => { eve.Click("showhide"); })
