Basic Definitions

Columns can be defined when the grid is initialized, including which columns to show and the order in which they appear. This example demonstrates how to specify basic column definitions, such as order, caption, and size with a simple array.

Columns can be defined when the grid is initialized, including which columns to show and the order in which they appear. This example demonstrates how to specify basic column definitions, such as order, caption, and size with a simple array. In the source code, notice the columns array. It specifies each column in the grid. DataViews will show the columns in the order they appear. In this example: column id, caption, dataField, and width are specified for most columns. Star sizing is used to size the country column. This tells the column to stretch to fill the available width of the grid so there is no empty space. There is an additional column, active, that is hidden by setting the visible property to false.
