GridComponent methods to set column visibility

Setting grid.columns[i].hidden may work to some extend, but isn't emitting columnVisibilityChange and further activities on a column set visible are not working but resulting in error, e.g. calling reorderColumn() results in:

TypeError: Cannot set property 'orderIndex' of undefined
    at GridComponent.push../node_modules/@progress/kendo-angular-grid/dist/fesm5/index.js.GridComponent.updateColumnIndices (https://localhost:4201/vendor.js:196833:43)

The grid internal method updateColumnIndices() throws an error, because it doesn't get the newly visible column from expandColumnsWithSpan() and expandedColumns.indexOf(source) is -1. 

Thus it's required to add methods like showColumn/hideColumn or setColumnVisibilty.

Hello,

We are declining this request due to low interest and demand. Furthermore, the Grid columns have built-in API for toggling their visibility, and there is a dedicated Grid columnVisibilityChange event, triggered when a column is shown/hidden through the UI. When the developer is hiding/showing a column programmatically, there is no need of a special event as they have full control to execute whatever custom logic necessary when changing the column visibility.

Hi Robert,

Thank you for the logged feature request.

Indeed, that would be a valuable addition to the Kendo UI for Angular Grid.

We will track the demand for this feature and eventually provided it in a future release of Kendo UI for Angular.

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

Regards,
Svetlin
