Future Improvement - Utilize Menu for Grid activities #77

Hi I work now to provide UI for hidden columns ,this can be relevant also for Filter. We have today the capabilities of adding Menu to Grid , for example when used in Adaptive Filter (AZFilterMenu etc.). When I tried to provide my users with Hidden Columns UI using the Menu they didn't like it. The reason is that Menu when clicked it got closed , so they needed to reopen it each time they wanted another item to check. Same can be in Adaptive Filter , menu gets closed for each selection which is annoying. Think of it as having Filter in Excel when you click few items in the filter. I think we need to think of either change menu , so it will be possible to keep Menu open after click , or provide alternate Menu to work on. Reference you can see at Jquery: http://demos.kendoui.com/web/grid/column-menu.html For now I will implement the UI as PopUp but I think menu will be best if it behaves well. thank you tsemach.

Yes actually I'm aware of this issue at the very beginning. Problem is dojo's menu does support this. Since the menu object is directly provided to gridx, I don't think the issue should be resolved inside gridx. Maybe someday I'll provide a customized Menu class as some supporting tools for gridx.
