Hi! It took me a good 30 minutes to figure out the functionality of how to show a hidden column (clicking on the columns to the left and right of it) because I kept clicking and right clicking on the indicator itself assuming that would be used to trigger showing the columns. Is it possible to attach a custom click event to the indicators so that they have the same functionality as clicking the columns left and right of the indicator?

Hi @jaffe.maya

I totally agree. I created an issue in our internal ticketing system we should add a video on how to use the plugin with the description.

When it comes to the task. That’s challenging. There is no dedicated element (we use ::after and ::before on a DIV) so we might use the getBoundingClientRect on the header within the afterOnCellMouseDown hook. Something like this https://jsfiddle.net/vh79k5ut/2/

And then based on that you can determine if the clicked header index has header - 1 for

  if (event.clientX >= rect.left && event.clientX <= rect.left + pseudoElementWidth) {
    console.log('mousedown on left pseudo-element ::before');
  }

or header + 1 for

  else if (event.clientX >= rect.left + (tdWidth - pseudoElementWidth) && event.clientX <= rect.left + tdWidth) {
    console.log('mousedown on right pseudo-element ::after');
  }

to use showColumns() and them those columns back to view.
