Binding column visibility
posted

Is it possible to bind a column's visibility?  eg:

 

<ig:TemplateColumn Width="100" 
         Key="Reference" 
         Visibility="{Binding ShowColumn}">

 

At the moment, it doesn't seem to get the property, nor complain that it's in the wrong place (I assumed it would be on the DataContext rather than attached to an item)

 

Thanks

    Hi James, 

    A Column object isn't a Visual element (i.e. a FrameworkElement) so it doesn't participate in DataContext inheritance So in order for you to be able to bind to it, you'd need to set the Source of the Binding to a StaticResource.  

    Then you can bind to that,
