Thanks Richard, Btw, I have only just recently upgraded to 6.6.2. Now I have to upgrade already. Arr! I will have to get used to it, I guess. Is version-7 stable ? Will it fix my problem ? Stay tuned for the next episode! Thanks, On Tuesday, July 22, 2014 9:27:20 PM, Richard Gaskin wrote:

Hi Stephen, The crash on Windows is not related to AV Foundation, although it might be the result of the many changes that were necessary to implement AVF on Mac. Dragging the player control from the Tools palette into a stack window causes an immediate crash on Windows, but you can still cr

Re: Deleting dataGrid columns via code

Not sure it is Phil. The visible columns property is just a list of the visible column names so there'd still be some sort of repeat loop similar to yours to get rid of the unwanted stuff. Hard to know the best way to do it without knowing more about how Skip wants to export the data but simplest

Re: Deleting dataGrid columns via code

Hi Skip, Get hold of the dgProps["columns"] property of your datagrid. It is a line delimited list of the columns in the order they appear so you can delete the lines corresponding to the columns you want to delete, then set that property. Presumably you have a way to get the columns back again!

Re: Deleting dataGrid columns via code

I would hide the columns anyway, then just skip the columns you want to skip when you do the export. There isn't, AFAIK, a one-line way of removing the data the way you want to, however, the process, whether you want to remove the data, or skip when you export, is very straightforward and easy-to-
