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 Chooser button from the menu:

   

   XAML

   <Window
   xmlns:dxb="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/bars"
   ...>
   
   <dxg:TableView x:Name="view" >
       <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:ExtendedColumnChooserControl Owner="{Binding ElementName=view}"
                                     FlowDirection="{Binding Owner.FlowDirection, 
                                                     RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"/>
