Infragistics hidden column update

Question

I'm using Infragistics on an Entity Framework code-first MVC project. I want to display a table with a hidden column (the ID) and it has to be editable. Here is what I've got so far:

<table id="igTests"></table>
@(Html.Infragistics().Grid<BusinessModel.VO.TestVO>().ID("igTests")
    .AutoGenerateColumns(false)
    .Columns(column =>
    {
        column.For(x => x.TestId).DataType("int").HeaderText("id");
        column.For(x => x.TestNum).DataType("int").HeaderText("Test num");
        column.For(x => x.Type).DataType("string").HeaderText("Type");
        column.For(x => x.Nature).DataType("string").HeaderText("Nature");
        column.For(x => x.TeamName).DataType("string").HeaderText("Team");
        column.For(x => x.CreateDate).DataType("date").HeaderText("Creation date");
    })
    .Features(feature => {
        feature.Sorting().CaseSensitive(true);
        feature.Filtering().Mode(FilterMode.Simple);
    })
    .PrimaryKey("TestId")
    .DataSource(Model.TestsVO.AsQueryable())
    .DataBind()
    .Render())

This is what is displayed:

Now lets add the update feature (i know the readOnly is useless since we are not supposed to see it):

feature.Updating().EnableAddRow(true).EnableDeleteRow(true).EditMode(GridEditMode.Row).ColumnSettings(settings =>
            settings.ColumnSetting().ColumnKey("TestId").ReadOnly(true)
        );

And hide my ID-column:

column.For(x => x.TestId).DataType("int").HeaderText("id").Hidden(true);

Here is what i get. As you can see the table acts like my ID-column was visible.

This happened when I added the update feature. Do you have any idea on how I could fix the "Add new row" row acting like my column was visible? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Probably you should add this

}).Features(features => features.Hiding()
           .ColumnSettings(settings =>
           {
                 settings.ColumnSetting().ColumnKey("id").Hidden(true).AllowHiding(false)

Answer 2

I got it to work using .Width("0px") and ReadOnly on my ID-column. A bit dirty but had no other choice...
