Hiding a column
posted

I'm certain that I saw something like this in one of the blogs/samples, but can't seem to find it this morning.

I need to define a column, but don't want it to display. This is because I need the data for that field available to the rowtemplate I've defined. Without the column being defined, the data is empty in the rowtemplate.

Thanks,
Tony

    I've kind of worked around it, but I'm not satisfied with the results.

    I defined the column as the last column in the grid, giving it a header text of " " (with a space). I then set the width to "0".

    In the rowtemplate I added a spot for the data and set the style='display:none'

    This works, but leaves a small space in the header for the "hidden" column header. This causes the horizontal scrollbar to appear and it just doesn't look right. I'm hoping there is a better way.
