Remove a column permanently from the HeaderMenu context menu.

[Lakshmi Narayanan]

With GridViewHeaderMenu.IsEnabled="true" settings, I always get all the columns in the context-menu at right click of header for hide/show. But I would want, not to display a column that I am keeping visible=false always. How to do that. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

You can exclude the invisible columns like so:
 

                             .
                             .
item = new RadMenuItem();
                item.Header = "Choose Columns:";
                menu.Items.Add(item);

                // create menu items
                foreach (GridViewColumn column in grid.Columns)
                {
                    if (column.IsVisible)
                    {
                        RadMenuItem subMenu = new RadMenuItem();
                        subMenu.Header = column.Header;
                        subMenu.IsCheckable = true;
                        subMenu.IsChecked = true;

                        Binding isCheckedBinding = new Binding("IsVisible");
                        isCheckedBinding.Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay;
                        isCheckedBinding.Source = column;

                        // bind IsChecked menu item property to IsVisible column property
                        subMenu.SetBinding(RadMenuItem.IsCheckedProperty, isCheckedBinding);

                        item.Items.Add(subMenu);
                    }
                }
            }
            else
            {
                menu.IsOpen = false;
            }
                             .
                             .

I hope this helps.
