ToggleColumnVisibility Command

Updated on Mar 26, 2026

The ToggleColumnVisibility command handles the process of switching the IsVisible property of a column. The default implementation will toggle the visibility. The command is useful when customers need a notification when the end user excludes or includes a column.

Execution Parameter

The execution parameter is of type ToggleColumnVisibilityContext and exposes the following properties:

• IsColumnVisible (bool)—Gets or sets a value indicating whether the column is visible.
• Column—Gets the DataGridColumn instance that is being shown or hidden.

Custom ToggleColumnVisibility Command

The following examples show how to create a class that inherits from the DataGridCommand and add it to the Commands collection.

Create a Custom ToggleColumnVisibility Command

C#

public class CustomToggleColumnVisibilityCommand : DataGridCommand
{
	public CustomToggleColumnVisibilityCommand()
	{
		this.Id = CommandId.ToggleColumnVisibility;
	}

	public override bool CanExecute(object parameter)
	{
		var context = parameter as ToggleColumnVisibilityContext;
		// put your custom logic here
		return true;
	}

	public override void Execute(object parameter)
	{
		var context = parameter as ToggleColumnVisibilityContext;
		// put your custom logic here

		this.Owner.CommandService.ExecuteDefaultCommand(CommandId.ToggleColumnVisibility, context);
	}
}

Add the Custom Command to the Commands Collection

XAML

<Grid xmlns:grid="using:Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls.Grid">
	<grid:RadDataGrid Width="600" Height="460" x:Name="grid" Hold>
		<grid:RadDataGrid.Commands>
			<local:CustomToggleColumnVisibilityCommand />
		</grid:RadDataGrid.Commands>
	</grid:RadDataGrid>
</Grid>
