Column chooser

[Marco]

Hello,
Is there a way to show/hide columns in runtime?  I can think of a way to display the list of columns in a popup window and then toggle on/off the visibility of the columns.  What would be the recommended way to achieve this?  A code snipped will be appreciated

Thanks in advance,
Marco

Hi Marco,

Please check this blog post for more info:
http://blogs.telerik.com/vladimirenchev/posts/09-04-10/how_to_custom_header_context_menu_with_radgridview_for_silverlight.aspx

The same approach will be the same however you will need to use standard ContextMenu instead (no RadContextMenu for WPF).

Kind regards,

Hello,
Is there a way to show/hide columns using context menu instead of popup window as in the example attached "columnchooser-wpf.zip" in the link http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/wpf/gridview/use-context-menu-to-show-and-hide-columns.aspx ? I can think of a way to display the list of columns in a context menu and then toggle on/off the visibility of the columns in the button("column chooser"). A code snipped will be appreciated

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

In the demo (this demo), is the context menu for the column chooser invoked explicitly in the header row or is it a implicit invocation?

Thanks,

On a button click, is it possible to invoke a telerik datagrid column chooser context menu?

Is possible to use such Listbox to reorder with drag & drop the order of the columns too?

Thx in advance
Mauro

Hi Mauro,

You can use the drag and drop to reorder the items in the list. Then you should assure that the DispayIndexes for the columns correspond to the order indexes in the list.
