Hi people!

I need some help to build something like : this grid

Instead of hide/collapse the traditional rows, what I want to do is a user control that hide and collapse the columns when I click in the respective buttons.

Appreciated for the help!

Hey,

Well, start looking at how you hide a <table>'s columns with JavaScript for one; but you have to build a client-side API (at least partial) if you want to translate a column to a column name... not an easy task.

A lot of these grids have thousands of lines of code to provide all the features they do, especially from third party controls.
