SfDataGrid column hide/unhide

[Paolo Mantovani]

Hi,
I need to hide/unhide columns dynamically in a SfDataGrid, depending on the user tap on a button. The GridColumn class does not seem to have the IsHidden property in Xamarin.iOS, so I change Width to zero for hiding and back to the original value for unhiding.

However when the cells are unhidden, they do not keep their properties, for example background colour. I call SetNeedsLayout() against the grid to make sure the LayoutSubviews() method of the cells is called, and the background colour property is actually set there, but the colour is white on the screen and my colour is ignored. Another property that is not consistent is HeaderBackgroundColour: I set it at grid level (GridStyle), but after unhide is reverted to white.

Does anyone know if this is a known problem or I am missing something?

Thanks
Paolo

Hi Paolo, 

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support. 

 

We have checked your query and we were not able to reproduce the reported issues in 14.3.0.32 version of assemblies. Could you please confirm us, in which version of assemblies the issues were reproduced? 

 

We have prepared a sample based on your queries and the background color is maintained properly after unhidden the column. You can download the sample from the below link for your reference.

Hi,
thank you for the reply. I need certain columns to be initially hidden, I reproduced the issue in your code in this way:
in MyViewController constructor

            sfgrid.AutoGeneratingColumn += (sender, e) => 
            {
                if (e.Column.MappingName == "Freight")
                {
                    e.Column.UserCellType = typeof(GridCellExt);
                    e.Column.Width = 0;
                }
            };

In my app the columns are not auto generated but it does not seem to make any difference
Thanks
Paolo
