The Customization Form allows users to customize the layout of columns (and bands in Banded Grid Views). To invoke this form, click Column Chooser (or Column/Band Chooser) in the column header context menu.
In addition to the default form, the control supports an advanced form. Use a grid view’s UseAdvancedCustomizationForm option to switch to the advanced form. The static UseAdvancedCustomizationForm property allows you to enable the advanced form for all views.
