Description

@samatrhea @MartinFijneman I have the following proposition and would like to hear your thoughts.

In light of further trying to improve usability and user experience I would like to bring back discussion of certain columns in many grids which in my opinion are useful to have, but are 99% of the time not useful to be visible all of the time unless you are an advanced user. The columns that I refer to are ones like Type and Container RDL in RDL grids for example.

The DevExpress grid comes with functionality called Column Chooser out of the box which allows for efficient hiding of columns. See image below:

It conviniently binds to Visible property of the column. My proposal would be to hide by default certain columns that are typically irrelevant to make the views lighter. Further, a new button could be added to either global View ribbon or the individual browser ribbons to quickly toggle Advanced View and switch the visibility on and off.
