The setDisplay() method can be used to show/hide specific columns in a List Control in a UX Component. For example, the following method will hide columns 0, 1, and 2 in a columnar List:

var lObj = {dialog.object}.getControl('list1');

lObj.setDisplay('column',{column: [0,1,2], display: [false,false,false]})
