Hello,
Thanks for writing. This could be possible using the CSOM (Client Side Object Model) of our UltraWebGrid product. Please, take a look at our online help for CSOM, and especially the Columns client-side object

you can play with the setHidden method - this seems close to what you need.
You can also search the forum for threads employing setHidden for sample code:
