How to hide blank columns in datagrid?

Hi,

I have a datagrid nicely populated with data.

But I have some colums which are blank (the columns have a
Header but the rest of its rows are blank).

I want to hide these columns so that users can’t see them.

Note that the blank columns are not fixed. Sometimes it can
be that a column is blank but at other times it can be filled.

So I cannot use… “<… visible=false>

I need to loop thru the columns and then hide the blank
columns.

Anyone has an idea how to code for this loop.

Thx

Well..from what i know, the datagrid supports the syntax to
allow for you to specify the columns explicitly through the
DataGridColumn. Done like this

<mx:datagrid>

<mx:columns>

<mxdatagridcolumn datafield = “Column 1 name” ..>

<mxdatagridcolumn datafield = “” ..>

<mxdatagridcolumn datafield = “” ..>

</mx:columns>

</mx:datagrid>

why dont you specify the columns you want using this. that
way, if there is no data in the colums, that column just wont show.
Hope i am understanding you right when you say hide blank
columns|||
Unfortunately I can’t do what u proposed.

I definitely need to loop thru columns and hide unpopulated
ones.

Any idea how to loop thru columns in a datagrid?

Use the “columns” array to loop over the columns.

Set column.visible = false.

I think that’s all yo need to do.
