ExtendedColumnChooserControl Class

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v25.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Grid.Core

Declaration

C#

public class ExtendedColumnChooserControl :
    GridColumnChooserControlBase

VB.NET

Public Class ExtendedColumnChooserControl
    Inherits GridColumnChooserControlBase

Example

The GridControl displays the Column Chooser in a separate window. To add the Column Chooser to the same window as the GridControl, create an ExtendedColumnChooserControl object:

View Example: Display a Standalone Column Chooser

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

   

   The following code snippet removes the Show Column/Band Chooser / Hide Column/Band Chooser option from the column’s header context menu:

   XAML

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

2. Add a Column Chooser to the window:

   XAML

   <dxg:ExtendedColumnChooserControl Owner="{Binding ElementName=view}"
                                     FlowDirection="{Binding Owner.FlowDirection, 
                                                     RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"/>
