Silverlight DataGrid: Hiding columns using VisualStateManager
- by Lars Udengaard
Is it possible to hide a column of a datagrid, without using codebehind?
E.g. by using the VisualStateManager?
<UserControl
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:data="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Data"
x:Class="Buttons.MainPage"
Width="640" Height="480">
<StackPanel x:Name="LayoutRoot" Width="624" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,0,8,0" >
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="EditStates">
<VisualState x:Name="ReadOnly" />
<VisualState x:Name="Edit">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="ShownInEditMode" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.Visibility)" BeginTime="00:00:00" Duration="00:00:00.0010000">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
<Visibility>Visible</Visibility>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<data:DataGrid AutoGenerateColumns="False" ItemsSource="{Binding BBRNumbers}">
<data:DataGrid.Columns>
<data:DataGridTextColumn Header="AlwaysShown" Width="80" Binding="{Binding Municipality}" />
<data:DataGridTextColumn Header="ShownInEditMode" Width="73" Binding="{Binding Estate}" Visibility="Collapsed" />
</data:DataGrid.Columns>
</data:DataGrid>
</StackPanel>
Calling the following should then hide the column, but this doesnt work.
VisualStateManager.GoToState(this, "Edit", false);
Any ideas?
