Column chooser makes the select all check box to disappear

[Farhan]

I am currently working with a column chooser on a RadGridView. The column chooser is similar to the one found in Vladimir's blog. The problem is that as soon as I launch the column chooser, select all check box on the data grid is over written by an empty header. Can you please help me?

My first column is a telerik select all column:
<telerik:GridViewSelectColumn/>  

<telerik:RadGridView Margin="0,25,0,0"
                                     x:Name="TrancheList"
                                     ItemsSource="{Binding Path=TrancheDataCollection}"
                                     AutoGenerateColumns="False"                                      
                                     ScrollMode="Deferred"                                                                           
                                     SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedTranche, Mode=TwoWay}"                                       
                                     FrozenColumnCount="3"
                                     Background="#FF91AEC9"
                                     AlternationCount="2"
                                     EnableRowVirtualization="True"                                     
                                     SelectionMode="Extended"                                     
                                     >
                <telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>
                    <telerik:RadContextMenu>
                        <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Column Chooser" Click="RadMenuItem_Click"/>
                    </telerik:RadContextMenu>
                </telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>
                <inter:Interaction.Behaviors>
                        <beh:RadGridMultiSelectBehaviour SelectedItems="{Binding SelectedItems}"/>
                    </inter:Interaction.Behaviors> 



<Window x:Class="AnalyticsDealsModule.Views.ColumnChooser"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"        
        Title="Tranche List Column Chooser" Height="300" Width="400"
        WindowStyle="SingleBorderWindow"         
        Topmost="True"
        >
    <Grid>
        <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Margin="2">
            <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
                <RowDefinition />
            </Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <TextBlock Text="Available columns:" />
            <ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Columns}" Grid.Row="1">
                <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <CheckBox Content="{Binding Header}" IsChecked="{Binding IsVisible, Mode=TwoWay}" />
                    </DataTemplate>
                </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
            </ListBox>
        </Grid>
    </Grid>
</Window>

I'm sorry to bump this old topic but I've stumbled upon this same issue.

I would like to have the possibility to hide the telerik:GridViewSelectColumn while keeping the <Select/Deselect all> checkbox working.

Isn't there any other solution for this?

Hello Dekeyzer,

The approach of achieving such customization is demonstrated in the Column Selection SDK Example. It can be easily reviewed through the SDK Samples Browser. Can you please take a look at it and let me know in case further assistance is needed?

Hope it helps.
