[2.0b1] grid header menu on non-sortable columns

[slobo]

I set enableHdMenu=true
but on non-sortable grid column headers
menus are not accessible

is this a bug or feature?

a consequence:
if all columns are non-sortable
I cannot hide/show columns

---
and a bit of ergonomy:

if the header menus are accessible
it is not so easy to resize the columns:
the area where the cursor becomes the resize handle is too narrow

Thank you for posting. We will take a look at it.

If a column is not sortable, it doesn't have a menu. You can override and modify this behavior if you'd like it to be different.

if all columns are non-sortable
I cannot hide/show columns

why should these two features be dependent in this way?

I think it can be is a bug because Ext, when a column is not sortable, it disables the sorting options menu.

The problem is that the button is never showed. The patch/workaround is:

Ext.override(Ext.grid.GridView,{
    handleHdOver : function(e, t){
        var hd = this.findHeaderCell(t);
	    if(hd && !this.headersDisabled){
	        this.activeHd = hd;
	        this.activeHdIndex = this.getCellIndex(hd);
	        var fly = this.fly(hd);
	        this.activeHdRegion = fly.getRegion();
        //if(this.cm.isSortable(this.activeHdIndex) && !this.cm.isFixed(this.activeHdIndex)){  //previous CODE
	        if(!this.cm.isFixed(this.activeHdIndex)){  //new CODE
	            fly.addClass("x-grid3-hd-over");
	            this.activeHdBtn = fly.child('.x-grid3-hd-btn');
	            if(this.activeHdBtn){
	                this.activeHdBtn.dom.style.height = (hd.firstChild.offsetHeight-1)+'px';
	            }
	        }
	    }
	}
});

Note that with this code, the menu on a column which is not sortable, have the sort options already disabled, because Ext already was prepared to do that.

Naturally, Ext guys have the last word about this.

Hi,
How to show and hide an option in column menu, eg: Group By Field through a button click event or outside ext js function

/*===============*/
groupView = new Ext.ux.MultiGroupingView({
enableGroupingMenu : enableGroupingMenuStatus
});

//this below function is called on clicking a button
function toggleGridViews(val){
if(val=='custom') {
ss.hide();
enableGroupingMenuStatus=false;
}
else if(val=='standard')
{
ss.show();
enableGroupingMenuStatus=true;
}
grid.store.load();
}
