How to insert/show a column from Add-In

[Michael Agee]

Is there a way to show a project column programmatically? I don't mean to
launch the Column Definition dialog with which the user has to then interact.
I want to cause a column I wish to insert to appear without user interaction.
I have been through the Developer Reference and I can't seem to find a method
that accomplishes this.

Thanks

This code inserts the "indicators" column as the second column in the
"Entry" table. Modify as required for your use.

TableEdit Name:="Entry", TaskTable:=True, NewName:="", FieldName:="",
NewFieldName:="Indicators", Title:="", Width:=10, Align:=2,
ShowInMenu:=True, LockFirstColumn:=True, DateFormat:=255, RowHeight:=1,
ColumnPosition:=2, AlignTitle:=1

Yes. I recommend that if your macro needs a particular set of columns you
create a new table programmatically and apply it with a new View as well.

To see the code needed for creating and applying tables and Views, record a
macro of you manually creating a table and View then applying them. (Tools,
Macro, Record new macro).

Application.TableEdit("Entry", true, missing, missing, missing,
"Number11", "Cost Element", missing, 15,
Microsoft.Office.Interop.MSProject.PjAlignment.pjCenter,
