But now in version 2.0, when i click on parent node, my hidden columns headers are visible in form of some crunched up text.This did not happen in version 1.5. Can u help in this?

In the version 2.0 you should use method setColumnHidden(columnIndex,state);

How should this be used if we are loading grid by xml?
