Understanding the Problem
When working with ExtJS, particularly with grid panels, developers may encounter situations in which they need to dynamically hide or unhide icons in an action column based on specific criteria from the row data.
In this post, we will explore the issue of not being able to show or hide an action column icon effectively—an issue faced by many developers while using ExtJS.
The problem boils down to the implementation of a getClass function in the action column that does not seem to work as expected, leaving the icon in a permanent hidden state or visible when it shouldn't be.
Problem Example
Consider the following ExtJS grid panel configuration:

The Challenge
The icon in the action column should either display or hide based on the value of record.data.name. However, despite verifying that the condition is correct, developers find that the icon does not show up under the intended conditions.
Solution Overview
Step-by-Step Solution
To resolve the issue, let’s walk through some essential points and adjustments that can guide you to effectively manage icon visibility in the ExtJS grid panel.
Using the icon Property:
The current implementation uses getClass to determine visibility but may not produce desired results. Consider using the icon property directly within the item configuration. This is much clearer and can react to dynamic conditions without altering class properties.
Implementing CSS for Visibility:
Ensure you have the right CSS classes defined for showing and hiding the icons:

Add a class that truly hides the display:

Revising the ActionColumn Item Configuration:
Mark the item as hidden by expanding upon the getClass method logic.

Testing the Solution
Finally, make sure to test the implementation thoroughly:
Verify that your conditions are correct and reflected in the action column.
Confirm that the icons behave as intended across different row data scenarios.

Conclusion
By following the outlined steps, you should be able to successfully implement conditional visibility for action column icons in your ExtJS grid panel. Remember to use the icon property for a cleaner configuration and ensure that your CSS classes are correctly applied.
