Run commands from XML

You are allowed to use methods before grid intialization:

  • Example: Load grid with web skin set from XML by calling setSkin method before grid initialization

  • The same as with script:

    Also, you can run methods after grid intialization

  • Example: Load grid and set the 2nd column hidden by calling setColumnHidden method from xml after grid initialization

  • The same as with script:
