How to add a Header cell from code behind?

[Nivid]

I wanted to add a column chooser functionality in the gridview. I have done it in past but had a question that can it be acheived by just adding a header cell from codebehind or by any other way. I have done it by using the row indicator column and using the space on the header to open choose column window, which i have attached a image of that. 

Question here is that is there a way to hide the row indicator column and just use the extra header on top/ or code behind way to add a header cell which handles this functionality. 


Thanks,

Hello,

You can check "Header Context Menu"  WPF Demo for an example on how to attach a ContextMenu to the header cells. When OnMenuOpened event is raised, you can decide whether to show the menu or hide it.

Let me know how this works for you.
