By default, the PivotColumnsFloatBarVisible property is exPanelHidden. The PivotColumnsFloatBarVisible property can be used to display a panel that contains a list of available data columns. This floating window allows users to easily view and interact with the data columns, enabling them to drag and drop the desired columns onto the control's pivot bar. By doing so, users can quickly summarize and organize the data in a flexible and user-friendly manner. The PivotColumnsSortOrder property specifies the sorting order of the columns to be shown on the Columns panel. The DisplayFilterList property indicates the type of filters displayed by the columns. The PivotColumnsFloatBarRect property defines the position and size of the Columns panel. The PivotBarVisible property indicates whether the control's pivot bar is visible or hidden. Use the DataColumns property to access the data columns collection once data was provided using the Import, DataSource or LoadXML methods. Use the Description(exColumnsFloatBar) property to customize the "Columns" caption.
