GridView column chooser with select all/none option

[Edwin]

I want to implement a column chooser and I have seen the examples here: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/wpf/controls/radgridview/how-to/show-hide-columns-outside-of-the-radgridview.html

However, I have not been able to find a way to implement this column chooser along with a couple of additional checkboxes: 

"Show All":  Would make all columns on the grid visible

"Hide All": Would make all columns on the grid invisible

What is the best way of accomplishing this?

Thanks.

Hello Edwin,

One way to achieve the desired behavior would be to add two additional checkboxes under the ListBox control (which you can replace with an ordinary ItemsControl) and handle their Checked events like so:

<CheckBox Name="ShowAllCheckbox" Content="Show All" Grid.Row="2" Checked="ShowAllCheckbox_Checked" />
<CheckBox Name="HideAllCheckbox" Content="Hide All" Grid.Row="3" Checked="HideAllCheckbox_Checked" />

private void ShowAllCheckbox_Checked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    foreach (var column in this.RadGridView1.Columns)
    {
        column.IsVisible = true;
    }

    HideAllCheckbox.IsChecked = false;
}

private void HideAllCheckbox_Checked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    foreach (var column in this.RadGridView1.Columns)
    {
        column.IsVisible = false;
    }

    ShowAllCheckbox.IsChecked = false;
}

I'm attaching a sample project with the implementation. Would such an approach be suitable for your requirements?

Thank you for your reply.  Your solution almost gets me there.  The reason I went for a ListBox is that there is a large number of columns.  With your solution, how can I implement scrolling on the list of columns?

Thanks again.

Actually, I've figured it out.  Just a little tweak to your solution and it's working perfectly now. :)
