Thank you Tracy, Although my grid structure is something along the lines: column1, column2, columngroup( column3, column4), column5
and I wanted to manipulate only the group, what did the trick was indeed setting groupedColumns property on the grid after changing columns. I simply did adg.groupedColumns = adg.groupedColumns and it worked, it never occurred to me that this might work (I find it somewhat dumb actually), but since I have no acces to the source of AdvancedDataGrid I can't tell what is going on with that class. Do you know why setting that property would trigger the change and not when invalidating properties, display list and the likes? --- In [email protected], "Tracy Spratt" <tspr...@...> wrote: > > You should be able to manipulate the columns dynamically.
