    Hello All , 

     I have a grid  in which i wants to show some of the columns  depending upon some business rules. So i set the Binding for the ISVISIBLE to an attribute of the view model but it is not able to hide the column.

    Say i have view model  EmployeeVM  it has 2  attributes ( one is  Observable Collection ( List of employees ) and other  ISNAMEVISIBLE ) . This i binded  to the  Grid control. Set the item source to the Observable collection

    Now i dont want Name column to visible for some scenarios  so i set the ISNAMEVISIBLE to false. but still column is visible .

    So i went to the Entity level ( Employee) and exposed one more property (NameVisible) and then this i binded to the column and this entity even implements INotifyPropertychnage but still no luck . column i still visible.

     Can some suggest me why it is not invisible and the best way to achieve it ?


    Regards,
    Phani

    Hi,

     Can you verify if your view-model implements INotifyPropertyChanged properly?

    Hello,

     The DataContext for columns (and the grid itself) is your view-model - not the entities. Your entities will be set as DataContext for rows/cells.

    I am also experiencing this problem with the Q3 2011 version.  I am binding the isVisibility property to the isChecked property of a check box elsewhere on the form.  The first column of the grid behaves as expected, but the others do not update the property.

    Here is some sample XAML:
    <CheckBox x:Name="chk1" />
    <CheckBox x:Name="chk2" />
    <telerik:RadGridView CanUserFreezeColumns="False" ItemsSource="{Binding Resources}" AutoGenerateColumns="False" telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Windows7" EditTriggers="CellClick" >

    <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

        <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Col1" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Col1}" IsGroupable="False" IsFilterable="True" ShowDistinctFilters="False" IsVisible="{Binding ElementName=chk1, Path=IsChecked}" />

     <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Col2" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Col2}" IsGroupable="False" IsFilterable="True" ShowDistinctFilters="False" IsVisible="{Binding ElementName=chk2, Path=IsChecked}" />

    </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
    </telerik:RadGridView>

     

    In the above example, checking and unchecking chk1 will show and hide column 1 in the grid.  Checking and unchecking chk2 does nothing.

    Hi,

     Here is an example how to achieve your goal:

    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
            <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
                <RowDefinition />
            </Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <StackPanel>
                <CheckBox x:Name="chk1" IsChecked="{Binding Columns[\Col1\].IsVisible, ElementName=RadGridView1, Mode=TwoWay}" />
                <CheckBox x:Name="chk2" IsChecked="{Binding Columns[\Col2\].IsVisible, ElementName=RadGridView1, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
            </StackPanel>
     
            <telerik:RadGridView x:Name="RadGridView1" CanUserFreezeColumns="False" ItemsSource="{Binding}" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                                 telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Windows7" EditTriggers="CellClick" Grid.Row="1">
                <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
                    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Col1" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Col1}" IsGroupable="False" UniqueName="Col1"
                                                IsFilterable="True" ShowDistinctFilters="False" />
                    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Col2" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Col2}" IsGroupable="False" UniqueName="Col2"
                                                IsFilterable="True" ShowDistinctFilters="False"  />
                </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
            </telerik:RadGridView>
        </Grid>

    All the best,
