ColumnChooserControl Class

The legacy Column Chooser control allows users to show and hide the GridControl‘s columns at runtime.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v21.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Grid.Core

Declaration

C#

public class ColumnChooserControl :
    GridColumnChooserControlBase

VB.NET

Public Class ColumnChooserControl
    Inherits GridColumnChooserControlBase

Remarks

The GridControl displays the Column Chooser in a separate window. To add the Column Chooser to the same window as the GridControl, create a ColumnChooserControl object. This object is the Column Chooser whose DataViewBase.ColumnChooserColumnDisplayMode property is set to ShowHiddenColumnsOnly:

1. Users can open the Column Chooser window from a column header’s context menu. To prevent this, remove the Show Column Chooser button from the menu:

   

   XAML

   <Window
   xmlns:dxb="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/bars"
   ...>
   
   <dxg:TableView x:Name="TableView" >
       <dxg:TableView.ColumnMenuCustomizations>
           <dxb:RemoveAction ElementName="{x:Static dxg:DefaultColumnMenuItemNames.ColumnChooser}"/>
       </dxg:TableView.ColumnMenuCustomizations>
   </dxg:TableView>
   

2. Add a Column Chooser to the window:

   XAML

   <dxg:ColumnChooserControl x:Name="PART_ColumnChooserControl"
                             Owner="{Binding ElementName=TableView}"
                             Columns="{Binding Path=Owner.ColumnChooserColumns, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"
                             DragText="Drag a column here to customize layout"/>
