columnsAutogenerationMode Option

Determines the behavior for column autogeneration.

Default value: merge

Type: String (see valid values below)

Syntax

Javascript (Usage)
Javascript (Specification)

$(function () {
    
    // Get value
    var returnsValue; // Type:  string
    returnsValue = $(".selector").wijgrid("option", "columnsAutogenerationMode");
    
    // Set value
    var newValue; // Type:  string
    $(".selector").wijgrid("option", "columnsAutogenerationMode", newValue);
        
});

var columnsAutogenerationMode : string;

Example

Javascript

$("#element").wijgrid({ columnsAutogenerationMode: "none" });

Remarks

Valid values:

none: Column auto-generation is turned off.
append: A column is generated for each data field and added to the end of the columns collection.
merge: Each column without a specified dataKey is automatically bound to the first unreserved data field. For each data field not bound to any column, a new column is generated and added to the end of the columns collection. To prevent automatic binding of a column to a data field, set its dataKey option to null.

The Column Visibility sample sets this option to none so that columns are not automatically created for ones that are hidden.

Note: The columns autogeneration process affects the options set on columns and the columns option itself.
