Buttons for allowed edit operations are displayed in an edit column. To customize it programmatically, declare a column of the buttons type and specify the available buttons. In this demo, the buttons column is used to hide the "Add" button in each row. See the following help topic for more details on edit column customization: Customize the Edit Column.
This demo also illustrates the following event handlers:
-
onInitNewRow
