I haven't done dynamic columns with ADG, but, at least with the standard DataGrid, the.columns property returns a *copy* of the DataGridcolumns array, so it is critical after modifying that array that you re-assign it to the columns property.
ADG is probably the same, adg.groupedColumns returns a *copy* of the column array, so changing it does not change the ADG.

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 flexcod...@yahoogro <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ups.com, "Tracy Spratt" <tspr...@...> wrote: > > You should be able to manipulate the columns dynamically.
