      <dxg:GridControl.Columns>
          <dxg:GridColumn FieldName="Name"/>

          <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"/>
