Description massimo 2008-09-04 23:30:06 UTC 
Could not find an easy way to initialize columns as visible/not visible.

With TreeTableView you had to set property.setValue("InvisibleInTreeTableView", true), but that does not seem to work
with OutlineView.
Checked API for TreeTableColumnSelector, but was not able to make that work either: the default behavior opens up a very
useful panel ("Select Visible Columns") that allows the user to make columns visible with check boxes, but if you
override TreeTableColumnSelector, and then click to open the "Select Visible Columns", you no longer get that useful
panel: it applies visibility right away.

Ideally, i would like to have a bunch of columns available in an OutlineView, but only some of them visible at creation
time.
User can then always go click the box in the top right corner, which pops up the "Select Visible Columns" panel, and
then make whatever column visible.

Please disregard my comment about TreeTableColumnSelector in the description: it has not to do with this issue. About
hiding columns, wanted to specify that this can be done using ETableColumnModel, but somebody would wish to set values
as easily as it was with TreeTableView.
Comment 2 Stanislav Aubrecht 2008-09-05 09:03:55 UTC 
outlineview is a new api still under development so i don't think this counts as a bug.
patches are welcome:)

See ETableColumnModel.setColumnHidden(TableColumn column, boolean hidden)
