Remove the dropdown button

By default, the dropdown button will be displayed in the ComboBox, RichText, NumericUpDown and MonthCalender cells to show dropdown dialog. In order to hide the dropdown button of a grid cell, the ShowButtons property of GridStyleInfo can be set to GridShowButtons.Hide.

Using GridStyleInfo property

GridControl

this.gridControl1.ColStyles[1].CellType = GridCellTypeName.MonthCalendar;
//To hide the dropdown button
this.gridControl1.ColStyles[1].ShowButtons = GridShowButtons.Hide;

Me.gridControl1.ColStyles(1).CellType = GridCellTypeName.MonthCalendar
'To hide the dropdown button
Me.gridControl1.ColStyles(1).ShowButtons = GridShowButtons.Hide

GridGroupingControl

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns["Date"].Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.CellType =GridCellTypeName.MonthCalendar;   
//To hide the cell buttons   
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns["Date"].Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.ShowButtons = GridShowButtons.Hide

Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns("Date").Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.CellType =GridCellTypeName.MonthCalendar
'To hide the cell buttons   
Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns("Date").Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.ShowButtons = GridShowButtons.Hide

Using QueryCellStyleInfo event

GridControl

this.gridControl1.ColStyles[1].CellType = GridCellTypeName.MonthCalendar;
//Event Triggering
this.gridGroupingControl1.QueryCellInfo += GridGroupingControl1_QueryCellInfo;
//Event Handling
private void GridGroupingControl1_QueryCellInfo(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.Grouping.GridTableCellInfoEventArgs e)
{
    if(e.RowIndex > 0 && e.ColIndex == 1)
    {
        //To hide the dropdown button.
        e.Style.ShowButtons = GridShowButtons.Hide;
    }
}

Me.gridControl1.ColStyles(1).CellType = GridCellTypeName.MonthCalendar
'Event Triggering
Private Me.gridGroupingControl1.QueryCellInfo += AddressOf GridGroupingControl1_QueryCellInfo
'Event Handling
Private Sub GridGroupingControl1_QueryCellInfo(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.Grouping. GridTableCellInfoEventArgs)
    If e.RowIndex > 0 AndAlso e.ColIndex = 1 Then
        'To hide the dropdown button.
        e.Style.ShowButtons = GridShowButtons.Hide
    End If
End Sub

GridGroupingControl

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns["Date"].Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.CellType =GridCellTypeName.MonthCalendar;   
//Event Triggering
this.gridGroupingControl1.QueryCellStyleInfo += GridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo;
//Event Handling
private void GridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.Grouping.GridTableCellStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
    if(e.TableCellIdentity.RowIndex > 0 && e.TableCellIdentity.ColIndex == 4)
    {
        //To hide the dropdown button.
        e.Style.ShowButtons = GridShowButtons.Hide;
    }
}

Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns("Date").Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.CellType =GridCellTypeName.MonthCalendar
'Event Triggering
Private Me.gridGroupingControl1.QueryCellStyleInfo += AddressOf GridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo
'Event Handling
Private Sub GridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.Grouping. GridTableCellStyleInfoEventArgs)
    If e.TableCellIdentity.RowIndex > 0 AndAlso e.TableCellIdentity.ColIndex = 4 Then
        'To hide the dropdown button.
        e.Style.ShowButtons = GridShowButtons.Hide
    End If
End Sub
