grid column menu for hide/show only on the first checkbox column

[jerome]

I'm trying to reduce the clutter on the grid column headers. I love the idea of giving the users the power to hide and show columns but do not want to see those 3 dots on every column. For all other columns i just want the filter icon present.

I want to show the column menu only for the first column (first column is a selector checkbox). Version would be the latest and greatest. Is this possible?

Hi Jerome,

 

Thank you for contacting us.

Yes, you can achieve this requirement with the following built-in property:

columns.Bound(o => o.ShipName).ColumnMenu(false);

As demonstrated here:

Feel free to give this option a try and let me know if it helps you.

What if i didnt want to show the full column menu but i only wanted to show the filter menu? with the filter icon on the column?

For filtering you can have the icon within an individual row:

Or on the header cells next to column titles:

The last option would be to use the .Events(e=>e.ColumnMenuInit()) handler to remove all options from the column menu other than Filtering:

I hope this will prove helpful. Do not hesitate to let me know if I made a mistake somewhere or you need more particular and specific example/code. I will be ready to help you with any other inquires you might have.
