add/move/remove columns in grid ?

Submitted by adam.bemben on Thu, 04/03/2008 - 09:26.

I'm new with dojo.
I have to make a grid, in which user would be able to add/move/remove columns.
Add/remove action refers to operations on some predefined set of columns (predefined when structure object is created) , by "move" i mean changing their sequence of appearance in drag and drop way.

My question: Is there any build-in mechanism in dojo which provides such kind of functionality in grid or do i have to make it from scratch ?

I don't believe there is a built-in way, so you would probably need to:

1. create a new structure, reflecting the modified view of the Grid.

2. do a grid.setStructure(newStructure).

3. do a grid.refresh().

...or similar.

I had something like this working just as frankf described however ran into problems once I made the grid editable. I guess my point is that for a readonly grid, this is fairly simple - but for an editable grid, I had issues and didn't have enough time to dig in and get it fixed (although I may have to revisit this again later this week).
