Map of indicators which elements of the grid are visible.
Object, default - see below
Some grid elements are shown by default, for example column headers, but most of them are hidden. You can set them during the object creation: $('#grid').w2grid({ name : 'grid', show : { header : true, footer : true, toolbar: true }, columns: [ { field: 'recid', caption: 'ID', size: '50px' }, { field: 'lname', caption: 'Last Name', size: '30%' }, { field: 'fname', caption: 'First Name', size: '30%' }, { field: 'email', caption: 'Email', size: '40%' }, { field: 'sdate', caption: 'End Date', size: '120px' } ], records: [ { recid: 1, fname: 'John', lname: 'doe', email: 'vitali@gmail.com', sdate: '1/3/2012' }, { recid: 2, fname: 'Stuart', lname: 'Motzart', email: 'jdoe@gmail.com', sdate: '2/4/2012' }, { recid: 3, fname: 'Jin', lname: 'Franson', email: 'jdoe@gmail.com', sdate: '4/23/2012' }, { recid: 4, fname: 'Susan', lname: 'Ottie', email: 'jdoe@gmail.com', sdate: '5/3/2012' }, { recid: 5, fname: 'Kelly', lname: 'Silver', email: 'jdoe@gmail.com', sdate: '4/3/2012' }, { recid: 6, fname: 'Francis', lname: 'Gatos', email: 'vitali@gmail.com', sdate: '2/5/2012' } ] }); Or any time during run-time. You will need to call .refresh() method to refresh on the screen. w2ui['grid'].show.header = false; w2ui['grid'].refresh(); The map and its default values are: show = { header : false, // indicates if header is visible toolbar : false, // indicates if toolbar is visible footer : false, // indicates if footer is visible columnHeaders : true, // indicates if columns is visible lineNumbers : false, // indicates if line numbers column is visible expandColumn : false, // indicates if expand column is visible selectColumn : false, // indicates if select column is visible emptyRecords : true, // indicates if empty records are visible toolbarReload : true, // indicates if toolbar reload button is visible toolbarColumns : true, // indicates if toolbar columns button is visible toolbarSearch : true, // indicates if toolbar search controls are visible toolbarInput : true, // indicates if to show search input toolbarAdd : true, // indicates if toolbar add new button is visible toolbarEdit : true, // indicates if toolbar edit button is visible toolbarDelete : true, // indicates if toolbar delete button is visible toolbarSave : true, // indicates if toolbar save button is visible selectionBorder : true, // display border around selection (for selectType = 'cell') recordTitles : true, // indicates if to define titles for records searchAll : true, // indiccates if to enable search by all fields skipRecords : true // indicates if skip records should be visible, statusRange : true, statusBuffered : false, statusRecordID : true, statusSelection : true, statusResponse : true, statusSort : false, statusSearch : false, saveRestoreState : false }
