Possible to hide a SlickGrid column WITHOUT removing it from the "columns" array?

I'd like to hide a column (its an ID column that is unique for each row), but I cannot remove it from the "columns" array because I need that data in the Row when actions are performed on the Row (Selection, Sorting, ect).

After being sorted for example, I need to grab the Rows match them up to the previous styles that they had before, and I can do this with the ID column. I need the data in the row, I just don't want it to be displayed.

Thanks.

In case anyone is still looking for this, I've found a way... it's not massively elegant but it does work. As Simon, suggested, add the Id column as the last in the grid. Set both the cssClass and headerCssClass to be "display:none !important" and set the width, minWidth and maxWidth column options to 0 as follows:

var columns = [
    { id: "MyColumnId", name: "My Column", field: "MyColumnData", width: 100},
    { id: "Id", name: "Id", field: "Id", width: 0, minWidth: 0, maxWidth: 0, cssClass: "reallyHidden", headerCssClass: "reallyHidden" }
];

and the css is:

.reallyHidden { display: none !important;}

Hope that helps.

I had the same problem today, and i am working with pure array data. if you add your values at the end of the data array, but do not define them in the columns-array, the data is present and you can use it in your events, but it is not shown.

example:

new Slick.Grid({
    document.getElementById('grid')
    , [
        [1, 2, 3, 1]
        , [1, 2, 3, 2]
        , [1, 2, 3, 3]
        , [1, 2, 3, 4]
        , [1, 2, 3, 5]
    ]
    , headers: [
        {
            field: '0'
            , id: 'foo'
            , name: 'foo'
        }
        , {
            field: '1'
            , id: 'bar'
            , name: 'bar'
        }
        , {
            field: '0'
            , id: 'baz'
            , name: 'baz'
        }
    ]
    , {}
);

As you can see in the code, i provided a 4th value to the grid with no column-definition.

After looking for some answers about this questions I've found a workaround that quite does the trick of hiding the column and still save the data.

My initial problem was that I needed to hide the ID column of the grid, so basically I hid the ID column by creating the only with the name attribute without specifying anything else and the column was then created I was expecting.
