Hiding/showing column in datagrid
I'm doing a windows aplications and need to be able to hide a column in a datagrid. I also need to be able to have it reapear. This is to be done with the checking/unchecking of a checkbox.
This is the code I have (important parts) ("result" is the datagrid in the form)
public DataTable table = new DataTable("result");
public DataView myDataView;
string columns = new String[13] {"date", "time", "c-ip", "c-port", "cs-username", "cs-method", "cs-uri-stem", "cs-uri-query", "sc-status", "sc-bytes", "cs-bytes", "s-name", "s-port"};
int i;
for(i=0; i<=12; i++)
{
table.Columns.Add(columns[
}
myDataView = new DataView(table);
result.DataSource = myDataView;
I also have a function for retreiving data and placing it in the table and it works fine. I don't want to run this every time I unhide a column again. I've tried accessing width of a column, visibility etc but in vain. How can this be done?

I've tried doing that previously but it doesn't tell me how to unhide the column at a later stage
private void ToggleColumn( int ColumnIndex) {
bool isVisible = result.Columns[ int ColumnIndex].Visible;
result.Columns[ int ColumnIndex].Visible = ( !isVisible );
}
this will hide/show your column after you fill your datagrid
bool isVisible = result.Columns[ int ColumnIndex].Visible;
result.Columns[ int ColumnIndex].Visible = ( !isVisible );
}
this will hide/show your column after you fill your datagrid

'System.Windows.Forms.Data
Set ColumnMapping to MappingType.Element
ASKER
myDataView.Table.Columns[2
Doesn't work... the columns is hidden (as I have previously managed to do) but won't reappear.

I got some help from a tutor and solved the problem. What I had to do was to control the width of the column using DataGridTableStyle in conjunction with some other Styles.
DataGridTableStyle tableStyle = new DataGridTableStyle();
tableStyle.MappingName = MyDataGrid.DataMember;
MyDataGrid.TableStyles.Add
and to toggle:
private void Toggle()
{
DataGridColumnStyle column = MyDataGrid.TableStyles[0].
if (column.Width==0)
{
column.Width = 75;
}
else
{
column.Width = 0;
}
}
Thanx for trying!
