ColumnChooser

[luke]

I am trying to prepopulate the column chooser with the columns in my DataGrid.

like this:

 ColumnChooser chooserWindow = new ColumnChooser(this.ColorDataGrid);

            chooserWindow.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Clear();

            chooserWindow.ClearValue(ColumnChooser.StyleProperty);

            ResourceDictionary rd = new ResourceDictionary();

            foreach (var item in this.ColorDataGrid.Columns)

            {

                rd.Add(item.MappingName, item);

            }

            //Resources has been added to the Merged Dictionaries

            chooserWindow.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(rd);

            this.ColorDataGrid.GridColumnDragDropController = new GridColumnChooserController(this.ColorDataGrid, chooserWindow);

            chooserWindow.Show();

But when the chooserWindow is open nothing is there, but if I drag and drop a column from the datagrid it works. 

How would I go about populating this window?

Thanks.

Hi Luke,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

In SfDataGrid, HiddenColumns only added to ColumnChooser window by default. If you have set Column.IsHidden is true, then those columns will be shown in ColumnChooser window otherwise columns will not be shown in chooser window and same scenario executes while loading also. So, if you want to show columns on loading, you need to set its IsHidden property to true.

Please refer below documentation link for more details

Refer the demo sample for the same from the below link.

Well, one of my columns on the datagrid is hidden, but it still doesn’t show up in the column chooser window.  Am I missing something?

Hi Luke,

We are unable to reproduce the reported issue with the column chooser, can you please provide us the sample application to reproduce it from our end or modify our demo sample to reproduce it based on your scenario, thereby we could analyze and update you with the appropriate details at the earliest.
