How to customise the GridToolbarColumnsChooser options

[Grant]

Hi Team,

I want to use the `GridToolbarColumnsChooser` in the Grid Toolbar (example) but there isnt any obvious way to customize the selectable visible/columns. In my use case, not all columns can be hidden, but there is no control in this component to do so.

I see there is a GridColumnMenuColumnsChoose, which accepts a single 'column' property, not sure if this is intentional, or maybe this is not what im looking for?

Anyway, any help to be able to customize the list of selectable columns would be helpful.

Thanks,
Grant

Hi, Grant,

Yes, the GridToolbarColumnsChooser exposes a column prop, it is used to provide context for a single column instance rather than to control or customize which columns are displayed in the chooser. Currently the component does not expose a prop or mechanism for item customization. A possible approach I can recommend for hiding some columns and not rendering them in the component is to use `useEffect`:

While this approach is not ideal I still hope it can prove helpful for the time being. I’ve also submitted a feature request on your behalf to enable improved customization options for GridToolbarColumnsChooser and added your vote for convenience.
