jQWidgets jqxGrid columnclick Event

Last Updated : 29 Mar, 2023

jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful, optimized, platform-independent, and widely supported framework. The jqxGrid is used to illustrate a jQuery widget that shows data in tabular form. Moreover, it renders full support for connecting with data, as well as paging, grouping, sorting, filtering, and editing.

The columnclick Event is activated whenever a column of a displayed jqxGrid is clicked.

Syntax:

$("#Selector").on("columnclick", function (event)
{
    // Arguments of the event
    var args = event.args;
   
    // Settings of the column
    var column = args.column;
    
    // Data field of the column
    var dataField = args.dataField;
    
    // Original event
    var ev = args.originalEvent;
});
