jQWidgets jqxGrid hidecolumn() Method

Last Updated : 30 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 hidecolumn() method is used to hide a column from the displayed jqxGrid. It has a parameter named dataField, which is of type string. It does not returns anything.

Syntax:

$('#Selector').jqxGrid('hidecolumn', 'columndatafield');
