mvvm binding, columns visibility and columnheaders

[David]

Hi, I have two question I can't find in the forum:

1-. I have a RadGridView binded to datasource, once the data is binded (or binding), how can i tell RadGridView wich columns are visibles and which aren't. (AutogenerateCoumns=true)

2-. Is there a way to bind columnheaders?

We are using MVVM pattern

Thanks

Hi,

Please find my recommendations to your questions:
1. You could inspect the IsVisible property of the GridView columns.
2. The column header is of type object, so you are not limited to just using plain text. 
You could bind the header like so:

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}" Header="{Binding MyHeaderName, Source={StaticResource MyViewModel}}"/>

I hope this helps.

The grid has AutogenerateColumns=true;

1-. The only way is having one property for the IsVisible property for each column? Anyway, with autogenerateColumns=true how could I bind the IsVisbile property?

2-. Alike, IsVisible property, how could I bind the headercolumn with autogeneratecolumn=true? I need this behaviour to change the header text for localization.

Thanks

Hello,

 You could subscribe for the AutoGeneratingColumn event of the RadGridView and set the binding with a code similar to this one:

Binding binding = new Binding();
b.Source = "your source";
b.Path = "path";
column.IsVisible = binding;

The same applies for the binding of the column headers.
