Listgrid refreshFields doesn't show column

[Ozi]

Hi all,

we are using: SmartClient Version: v10.0p_2015-05-03/LGPL Development Only (built 2015-05-03).

In the previous SGWT version (4.x) it worked quite well, but with SGWT 5.0 the refreshFields() method on Listgrid doesn't show the previously hidden column (but hides the previously visible one).

Please see the following simple Smartclient example, which reproduces the bug:

isc.ListGrid.create({
    ID: "countryList",
    width:500, height:224, alternateRecordStyles:true,
    data: countryData,
    fields:[
        {name:"countryCode", title:"Flag", width:50, type:"image", imageURLPrefix:"flags/16/", imageURLSuffix:".png"},
        {name:"countryName", title:"Country"},
        {name:"capital", title:"Capital", showIf:"false"},
        {name:"continent", title:"Continent"}
    ],
    canReorderFields: true,
    testCapitalVisible : function (isVisible) {
        if ('capital' != countryList.getField(2).name) return;
        countryList.getField(2).hidden = !isVisible;
    },
})


isc.IButton.create({
    ID: "showCapitals",
    prompt: "Shows the capital column by using listGrid.refreshFields() - BUGY",
    left:0, top:240,
    title:"Show Capitals",
    click:"countryList.testCapitalVisible(true); countryList.refreshFields()"
})


isc.IButton.create({
    ID: "showCapitals2",
    prompt: "Shows the capital column by using listGrid.showField() - WORKS OK",
    left:120, top:240,
    title:"Show Capitals 2 ",
    click:"countryList.showField('capital')"
})

isc.IButton.create({
    ID: "hideCapitals",
    prompt: "Hides the capital column by using listGrid.refreshFields() - WORKS OK",
    left:240, top:240,
    title:"Hide Capitals",
    click:"countryList.testCapitalVisible(false); countryList.refreshFields()"
})

Any help with this?

Use showField() and hideField() to manipulate field visibility; directly setting the "hidden" property is not supported.

Note that this may have worked before in an older version, in limited cases, by sheer luck, but was never supported usage.

Thanks for the quick reply!
It seems we have to change the way we hide fields in a grid.
