ColumnView.VisibleColumns Property

Gets the visible column collection.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Base

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraGrid.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

[Browsable(false)]
public virtual GridColumnReadOnlyCollection VisibleColumns { get; }

VB.NET

<Browsable(False)>
Public Overridable ReadOnly Property VisibleColumns As GridColumnReadOnlyCollection

Property Value

Type	Description
GridColumnReadOnlyCollection	A GridColumnReadOnlyCollection object representing the visible column collection.

Remarks

The column’s position within the VisibleColumns collection matches the column’s GridColumn.VisibleIndex property. Note that in Grid Views, this property specifies the actual column’s position within the View. In Banded Grid Views, you can change the visible order of columns using their owning bands’ methods. In advanced banded Views, the AdvBandedGridView.SetColumnPosition method should be used to rearrange columns.

All columns can be accessed via the ColumnView.Columns collection.
