IWbsFieldsRepository.IsColumnVisible Method
The result of this method may be different than IColumnFormatting.HiddenByUser value of the field
referenced by the field.
It's because the IColumnFormatting.HiddenByUser property is not enough to determine, whether the field is visible in a particular context.
It only indicates whether the column was explicitly hidden by a user or admin. If this property is set to false,
it doesn't necessarily mean that the column is visible. Some other criteria may cause it to be invisible, such as
hidden globally by admin, user profile permissions or visibility for progress statements or for estimate. For example,
if we are in the 'Progress statement' mode and the IWbsField.VisibleInProgress is set to false,
then the column is invisible regardless of a value of its IColumnFormatting.HiddenByUser and IColumnFormatting.HiddenByAdmin properties.
However, the method doesn't take into account whether the column is invisible because it is collapsed with the + and - icon in the header.
