When setting the dgText property you can pass in the columns that each  
item in your data should map to. You do this by making row 1 the  
column names and setting pFirstLineContainsHeaders to true:

set the dgText [true] of group "DataGrid" to theTextWithColumnMappings

By doing this you don't have to worry about the visible state of the  
column.
