You can show hidden columns or hide visible column’s editor in the dialog while editing the grid record using actionBegin
and actionComplete
events.
In the actionBegin
event, based on requestType
as beginEdit
or add
. We can show or hide the editor by using column.visible
property.
In the actionComplete
event, based on requestType
as save
. We can reset the properties back to the column state.
In the below example, we have rendered the grid columns CustomerID
as hidden column and ShipCountry
as visible column. In the edit mode, we have changed the CustomerID
column to visible state and ShipCountry
column to hidden state.
ej.grids.Grid.Inject(ej.grids.Toolbar, ej.grids.Edit);
var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
dataSource: data,
toolbar: ['Add', 'Edit', 'Delete'],
editSettings: { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true, mode: 'Dialog' },
columns: [
{ field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', textAlign: 'Right', width: 100, isPrimaryKey: true },
{ field: 'CustomerID', headerText: 'Customer ID', width: 120, visible: false },
{ field: 'Freight', headerText: 'Freight', textAlign: 'Right', editType: 'numericedit', width: 120, format: 'C2' },
{ field: 'ShipCountry', headerText: 'Ship Country', width: 150 }
],
height: 265,
actionBegin: function (args) {
if ((args.requestType === 'beginEdit' || args.requestType === 'add')) {
for (var i = 0; i < this.columns.length; i++) {
if (this.columns[i].field == "CustomerID") {
this.columns[i].visible = true;
}
else if (this.columns[i].field == "ShipCountry") {
this.columns[i].visible = false;
}
}
}
},
actionComplete: function (args) {
if (args.requestType === 'save') {
for (var i = 0; i < this.columns.length; i++) {
if (this.columns[i].field == "CustomerID") {
this.columns[i].visible = false;
}
else if (this.columns[i].field == "ShipCountry") {
this.columns[i].visible = true;
}
}
}
}
});
