Details

By default the method returns a copy of all visible columns. If you need to include hidden columns as well, pass true as a parameter.

The method can be used to manipulate the DataGrid with hidden columns:

// get a copy of all the columns
var columns = grid.getColumns(true);

// add new column
columns.splice(columns.length-1, 0, {
  id: "col_"+count,
  header:"Column "+count,
  hidden:true
});

// repaint the grid with modified data
grid.refreshColumns(columns);
