Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Class UltraGridColumnChooser 
   Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Control
public class UltraGridColumnChooser : System.Windows.Forms.Control
Remarks

UltraGridColumnChooser allows the user to select which columns to display in an UltraGrid. It displays the list of columns that the user can hide or unhide from the UltraGrid.

ColumnChooserDialog embeds this control inside of it. Typically you would display the ColumnChooserDialog to make use of this control. Use the UltraGridBase.ShowColumnChooser method of the UltraGrid to display the column chooser dialog. You can also embed this control inside your own custom dialog.

To associate an UltraGrid with a UltraGridColumnChooser set its SourceGrid property. UltraGridColumnChooser will display the columns of that grid. If your grid has multiple bands then you can specify a particular band whose columns to display by using CurrentBand property. The UltraGridColumnChooser can also display columns of multiple bands at the same time. It also exposes an user interface that lets the user select the band whose columns to display. These two aspects can be controlled using the MultipleBandSupport property.

UltraGridColumnChooser has two main modes of operation. Style property specifies which mode is used.

HiddenColumnsOnly mode displays the columns that are currently hidden in the UltraGrid. In this mode the user can drag the columns between the UltraGrid and the Column Chooser to hide or unhide them.

AllColumnsWithCheckBoxes mode displays all the columns, hidden or otherwise, in the column chooser. There is a checkbox next to each column which the user can use to hide or unhide columns. This mode also offers the same drag and drop capability as the HiddenColumnsOnly option.

AllColumnsAndChildBandsWithCheckBoxes mode behaves the same as AllColumnsWithCheckBoxes except that it also lets the user hide or unhide child bands. Each child band displays a check box next to it, just like the columns that the user can use to hide or unhide the child band. AllColumnsAndChildBandsWithCheckBoxes is the default column chooser style.

Various appearance related aspects can be controlled by the DisplayLayout property. For example, the BackColor of the column chooser can be set using the UltraGridColumnChooser.DisplayLayout.Appearance.BackColor. By default the column chooser syncrhonizes its appearance with the source grid. You can prevent the column chooser from doing this by setting the SyncLookWithSourceGrid property to false. This way you can specify appearance that's different from the source grid.

Example
The following code shows properties, events and methods related to the Column Chooser functionality.

For an overview of how to handle events in Visual Basic or Visual C#, see Event Handlers in Visual Basic and Visual C#. For specific information and code examples illustrating how to consume events in your application, see Consuming Events in the .NET Framework Developer's Guide.
