Columns

The behaviour of all cells in a column can be defined using column settings. These settings include the input data type and other properties such as read-only, masks, render, and more.

Upgrades on methods and event function signatures If you are migrating from previous versions, it is essential to note that there are significant changes to the rows events and methods, including changes their function signatures.
