WPF Data Grid - Display a Standalone Column Chooser

This example displays the column chooser in standalone mode and connects it to the GridControl:

• Add ExtendedColumnChooserControl to your layout and define its Owner and FlowDirection properties:

<dxg:ExtendedColumnChooserControl Owner="{Binding ElementName=tableView}" 
                                  FlowDirection="{Binding Owner.FlowDirection, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"/>

• Hide the context menu item that shows and hides GridControl's Column Chooser. Add a RemoveAction object to the TableView's ColumnMenuCustomizations collection:

<dxg:TableView.ColumnMenuCustomizations>
   <dxb:RemoveAction ElementName="{x:Static dxg:DefaultColumnMenuItemNames.ColumnChooser}"/>
</dxg:TableView.ColumnMenuCustomizations>
