1. If you want to hide or show a sub grid based on some conditions, you will use the following command to set visibility:

Xrm.Page.getControl("gridname").setVisible(false);

2. If you need interact with the row that is being selected and get some information or populate specific data, CRM 2016 provides new methods that will give the user an option to interact with them. In this example, we are populating an array with the selected row from the grid. The array is a collection of entity references, for example, lookups:

var selectedRowsArray = [];

var selectedRows = Xrm.Page.getControl("gridname").getGrid().getSelectedRows();

selectedRows.forEach(

function (selectedRow, i) {

selectedRowsArray.push(selectedRow.getData().getEntity().getEntityReference());

});

Happy CRM'ing!
