hide field from column chooser

Hello,

XAF v24.2 includes a new HideInUI attribute for use within business classes. This is a simple declarative way to hide fields from ListView and DetailView, their customization forms and many other UI contexts such as the Field List of the Filter, Report and Dashboard Editor/Designer. You no longer need manual Controller-based solutions or multiple non-flexible VisibleInXXX and Browsable attributes.

We also unified ways to disable runtime layout customization completely - you can now use 2 CustomizationFormEnabled options (global and View-specific) instead of the former 4 options.

Refer to the following breaking change article for more information: EnableColumnChooser and CustomizationEnabled options are replaced by a common cross-plarform option CustomizationFormEnabled.

Best regards,
Herman

Hi Pauline,

This problem is described in the Error - Default property access is ambiguous thread.
To resolve it, please modify the OnViewControlsCreated method as shown below:
VB.NET

Visual Basic
Public Class HideFromCustomizationFormController  
    Inherits ViewController(Of ListView)  
    Implements IModelExtender  
    Private Sub ExtendModelInterfaces(ByVal extenders As ModelInterfaceExtenders) Implements IModelExtender.ExtendModelInterfaces  
        extenders.Add(GetType(IModelMember), GetType(IModelMemberShowInCustomizationForm))  
    End Sub  
    Protected Overrides Sub OnViewControlsCreated()  
        MyBase.OnViewControlsCreated()  
        Dim listEditor As ColumnsListEditor = TryCast(View.Editor, ColumnsListEditor)  
        If listEditor IsNot Nothing Then  
            For Each column As ColumnWrapper In listEditor.Columns  
                Dim list As IModelList(Of IModelColumn) = CType(View.Model.Columns, IModelList(Of IModelColumn))  
                Dim modelMember As IModelMemberShowInCustomizationForm = CType(list(column.Id).ModelMember, IModelMemberShowInCustomizationForm)  
                column.ShowInCustomizationForm = modelMember.ShowInCustomizationForm  
            Next column  
        End If  
    End Sub  
End Class  

We look forward to your reply once you’ve had the opportunity to implement our suggestion.
