#Property Value

Type Description

The ColumnChooserColumns collection stores columns if their BaseColumn.Visible property is set to false, and their BaseColumn.ShowInColumnChooser property is set to true.

The following code sample creates a ListBoxEdit and binds it to the ColumnChooserColumns collection:

<dxg:GridControl Name="grid">
  <dxg:GridControl.View>
      <dxg:TableView Name="view" ... />
      <dxg:GridControl.Columns>
          <dxg:GridColumn FieldName="Name"/>
          <dxg:GridColumn FieldName="City"/>
          <dxg:GridColumn FieldName="Visits" Visible="False"/>
          <dxg:GridColumn FieldName="Birthday" Visible="False" ShowInColumnChooser="False"/>
      </dxg:GridControl.Columns>
</dxg:GridControl>
<GroupBox Header="Column Chooser Columns">
    <dxe:ListBoxEdit ItemsSource="{Binding ColumnChooserColumns, ElementName=view}" 
                     DisplayMember="FieldName"/>
</GroupBox>
