Hello Kris,

The colMenuColumnDone is called when the column is shown/hide in column menu, but it is called before the show/hide column. Also you can test this if you simple do alert in that eventn. (this is true in 5.3.1 release) To this event are passed 3 parameters and the 3 parameter is the state of the checkbox to show/hide the column.

As for recommendation, using watchpoints for jqgrid object has a serious negative impact on performance. It is better to use setters and getters, which we actually have: getGridParam and setGridParam. In setGridParam we can add a event listeners, but this is not the only way to change the grid parameter.

Kind Regards,

Will

I would like to resize the grid to maintain the table as 100% of window width when columns are hidden/shown so my first thought was to call resizegrid from the colMenuColumnDone function but this will not work correctly if the event is triggered before the column visibility changes.

Is there an alternative/better way of achieving what I want

The colMenuColumnDone is called when the column is shown/hide in column menu, but it is called before the show/hide column

What I have implemented is:
