In UWP DataGrid, Column Chooser window allows you to add or remove columns dynamically from the current view of grid by drag-and-drop operations. Please refer here to know more about Column Chooser.

By default, Title (ColumnChooser) and WaterMarkText (No Fields Available) of ColumnChooserWindow will be displayed like in below image.

In SfDataGrid, it is possible to change the above Title and WaterMarkText by using the Title and WaterMarkText property of column chooser window as shown in the below code snippet,

Code Snippet:

this.sfGrid.Loaded += OnSfGrid_Loaded;
void OnSfGrid_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            chooserWindow = new ColumnChooser(this.sfGrid);
            chooserWindow.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Clear();
            chooserWindow.ClearValue(ColumnChooser.StyleProperty);
            chooserWindow.Title = "Column Picker";
            chooserWindow.WaterMarkText = "No columns Available";
            chooserWindow.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Pink);
            chooserWindow.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.BlueViolet);
            chooserWindow.TitleBarForeground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.White);
            chooserWindow.TitleBarBackground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.BlueViolet);
            chooserWindow.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(new ResourceDictionary() { Source = new Uri("ms-appx:///Syncfusion.SfGrid.WinRT/Styles/Styles.xaml", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute) });
            this.sfGrid.GridColumnDragDropController = new GridColumnChooserController(this.sfGrid, chooserWindow);
