Configure Columns: I need to be able to multi-select

Avatar

Level 2

I work on Engineering data DBs that contain sometimes 200 tables with 170 columns each.  When configuring columns, it would be very handy, when in Advanced mode, to be able to select multiple columns so I could set many of the columns to invisible, or to a common width, or what ever.  At the moment, I'm having to click every single column and set the very same property for each. Is there a way to multi-select that I don't know about?  (The windows Ctrl-Click, and Shift-Click don't work.  If this is not possible, where to I post this as a request?  Thanks in advance.

No, however I just tried it now, and in the "Configure Columns" dialog of the advanced grid, it still has the same primitive behavior.  I can only select one column at a time.  ( I'm not talking about multi-selecting rows at run time, I'm talking about multi-selecting column names so I can set common properties of all of them simply by setting a value for one of them)

Example:  In the "Configure Columns" dialog, how does one set 20 columns to "visible=false" all at the same time?  I can't, as far as I can tell.  I have to click on each one individually.

Thanks for the docs link.  I didn't have that one yet.  However, the doc is talking about run time, not design time.  I need to be able to multi-select in the "Configure Columns" dialog of a data grid, at design time.
