Hello Telerik,

 

I wanted to implement a column chooser for a grid. Then I followed this doc here

http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/wpf/controls/radgridview/features/overview-controlpanel

and found out that I basically just need to add this piece of code inside my grid to achieve the desired feature.

<telerik:RadGridView.ControlPanelItems>
    <telerik:ControlPanelItem ButtonTooltip="Column chooser">
        <telerik:ControlPanelItem.Content>
            <ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Columns}" BorderThickness="0">
                <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <CheckBox Content="{Binding Header, Mode=OneWay}" IsChecked="{Binding IsVisible, Mode=TwoWay}" />
                    </DataTemplate>
                </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
            </ListBox>
        </telerik:ControlPanelItem.Content>
    </telerik:ControlPanelItem>
</telerik:RadGridView.ControlPanelItems>

 

 

 
Now my question is:
Is there a way I can reuse this block of code in several grids? Such as via usercontrols?

I just want to keep my code clean.
please show me the way.
Thank you!

Hello Vitor,

 In order to reach the desired behavior, you may choose between two approaches. The first one is to Implicitly Set the Control Panel Items which is our recommended approach. The second one
is to Explicitly Set the Control Panel Items. Both approaches allow the code to be defined only in one place and many grids to reuse it.

I hope that this helps. Should you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
