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
C#
this.gridControl1.ColStyles[1].CellType = GridCellTypeName.MonthCalendar; //To hide the dropdown button this.gridControl1.ColStyles[1].ShowButtons = GridShowButtons.Hide;
VB
Me.gridControl1.ColStyles(1).CellType = GridCellTypeName.MonthCalendar 'To hide the dropdown button Me.gridControl1.ColStyles(1).ShowButtons = GridShowButtons.Hide
GridGroupingControl
C#
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
VB
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
C#
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; } }
VB
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
C#
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; } }
VB
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
