TASK: Add new column to the directory style

In this task you will learn how to add a column in a table-like listing.

In this example we choose the <BaseQuery Name="Fred4Pages" in the FRED4_Config.xml configuration file.

You will be able to perform this task only if:

•You already opened the fred4_config.xml file as explained in TASK: Open for editing one or more files with directory styles, ordered the view as explained in TASK: Display an ordered view of directory style elements, and located the <DirectoryStyle Name="List" under the <BaseQuery Name="Fred4Pages".

•You performed the TASK: Remove a column from a directory style.

1.Expand the <DirectoryStyle Name="List" element so you see all its <ColStyle elements collapsed:

2.Make a new line above the </DirectoryStyle> and then type in it the following code:

        <ColStyle Name="Id" Height="0" >

          <CellTemplate>

            <TextBlock Height="Auto" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Text="{Binding Path=[page.id]}" />

          </CellTemplate>

        </ColStyle>

3.Save changes and import them in database as explained in TASK: Save changes and import them in database.

4.Restart Fred and then look at the navigator on the Pages main tab: the Id column is returned.
