Map of indicators which elements of the grid are visible. Some grid elements are shown by default, for example column headers, but most of them are hidden. You can set them during the object creation: let grid = new w2grid({ name: 'grid', show { header : true, footer : true, toolbar : true }, columns: [ { field: 'recid', text: 'ID', size: '50px' }, { field: 'lname', text: 'Last Name', size: '30%' }, { field: 'fname', text: 'First Name', size: '30%' }, { field: 'email', text: 'Email', size: '40%' }, { field: 'sdate', text: 'End Date', size: '120px' } ], records: [ { recid: 1, fname: 'John', lname: 'doe', email: 'vitali@gmail.com', sdate: '1/3/2012' }, { recid: 2, fname: 'Stuart', lname: 'Motzart', email: 'jdoe@gmail.com', sdate: '2/4/2012' }, { recid: 3, fname: 'Jin', lname: 'Franson', email: 'jdoe@gmail.com', sdate: '4/23/2012' }, { recid: 4, fname: 'Susan', lname: 'Ottie', email: 'jdoe@gmail.com', sdate: '5/3/2012' }, { recid: 5, fname: 'Kelly', lname: 'Silver', email: 'jdoe@gmail.com', sdate: '4/3/2012' }, { recid: 6, fname: 'Francis', lname: 'Gatos', email: 'vitali@gmail.com', sdate: '2/5/2012' } ] }); Or any time during run-time. You will need to call .refresh() method to refresh on the screen. w2ui.grid.show.header = false; w2ui.grid.refresh(); The map and its default values are: show = { header : false, // show/hide header toolbar : false, // show/hide toolbar footer : false, // show/hide footer columnMenu : true, // context menu on columns (to show/hide columns, etc) columnHeaders : true, // show/hide columns lineNumbers : false, // show/hide line numbers column orderColumn : false, // show/hide order records column expandColumn : false, // show/hide expand column selectColumn : false, // show/hide select column emptyRecords : true, // show/hide empty records selectionBorder : true, // display border around selection (for selectType = 'cell') recordTitles : true, // indicates if to define titles for records searchAll : true, // indiccates if to enable search by all fields searchHiddenMsg : false, // show tooltip message for search fields that are hidden or non-existant searchLogic : true, // search logic drop down in advanced menu dialog searchSave : true, // save search button (saved to local storage) skipRecords : true, // indicates if skip records should be visible, saveRestoreState : false, // indicates if "Save/Restore" items are visible toolbarReload : true, // show/hide toolbar reload button toolbarColumns : true, // show/hide toolbar columns button toolbarSearch : true, // show/hide toolbar search controls toolbarInput : true, // show/hide to show toolbarAdd : true, // show/hide toolbar add new button toolbarEdit : true, // show/hide toolbar edit button toolbarDelete : true, // show/hide toolbar delete button toolbarSave : true, // show/hide toolbar save button statusRange : true, // show selection range in status bar statusBuffered : false, // show number of buffered records in status bar statusRecordID : true, // show selected record id in status bar statusSelection : true, // show selection in status bar statusResponse : true, // show server response time in status bar statusSort : false, // show sort time in status bar statusSearch : false, // show search time in status bar }
