Tony, I found the getColProp function in the docs. This sort of gives me what I want but you have to name each column – you can not get info on all the columns.

This does not work:

*********************

gridParams = JSON.stringify($(”#a_all”).getColProp());

*********************

So I have to do this

*********************

gridParams1 = JSON.stringify($(”#a_all”).getColProp(”id”));
gridParams2 = JSON.stringify($(”#a_all”).getColProp(”name”));
gridParams3 = JSON.stringify($(”#a_all”).getColProp(”date”));

*********************

Note too that I think there is a problem with the column widths not being updated.

I have a column name and if I look at the properties it shows:

*********************

{”name”:”name”,”index”:”name”,”width”:160,”editable”:true,”edittype”:”text”,”editoptions”:{”size”:”75″,”maxlength”:”250″},”resizable”:true}

*********************

That’s fine. Now if I use the hide/show column feature to remove this from the grid it shows:

*********************

{”name”:”name”,”index”:”name”,”width”:160,”editable”:true,”edittype”:”text”,”editoptions”:{”size”:”75″,”maxlength”:”250″},”resizable”:true,”hidden”:true}

*********************

That is fine too as it is correctly stating that the column is now hidden.

But if I show the column and adjust the width manually (by dragging the separator bar) then the change is not being shown. If I drag / shrink / expand the name column on screen the width is always showing as

*********************

“width”:160

*********************

Should not this change as I change the column width on screen?
