show or hide a table column

[xren]

Hi,

I have a table, I would like dynamically show or hide a couple of columns based on the searching result.

How can this be done?

Thanks,

If the table contains data i.e. it's not empty, then to hide an entire column:

Code: Select all

controls.FIELDCOLUMN1.all.hide();

To hide a single table cell (show spaces in the table cell):

Code: Select all

controls.FIELDCOLUMN1.hide();

If the table is empty, you can hide an entire column with:

Code: Select all

controls.FIELDCOLUMN1.hide();

Thank you Jon. It works fine.

Another question: can I dynamically add a column to a table?

Thanks,

No, you can't add something. All you can do is create it in the designer as hidden and then dynamically show it.
