How to retrieve column information

[AntonyMember]

I have a requirement to adjust grid width as user resizes columns. I know that there is no autowidth setting. I want to add up individual column widths and set it as the grid width. I can use getcolumnproperty to get the column width, but dataFieldNames are not known. Can anybody suggest a way to get dataFieldName given the column index.  If there is any other way to automatically set the grid width, please share.

Hi Antony,

To get the datafield by column’s index, you can use the code snippet below:

var columnDataField = $("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid('getcolumnat', 0).datafield;

The above code gets the datafield name of the first column.

Hope this helps.

Best Wishes,
