Removing controls in header when exporting

[Casey]

I have a grid that has checkboxes in the header. I am trying to figure out a way to remove these checkboxes upon exporting and am having no luck. I column header contains the checkbox control and a linkbutton. I tried clearing the cell and then adding just the linkbutton back, but the extract still showed the checkbox data. There must be a simpler way of accomplishing this. Does anyone have any ideas?

(the columns are created dynamically which is why there is a loop)

'failed attempt at removing the checkboxes from the header
Dim commandItem As GridItem
For Each commandItem In radGridExport.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.Header)
    Dim hdrItem As GridHeaderItem = CType(commandItem, GridHeaderItem)
    Dim chkbox As CheckBox = CType(hdrItem.FindControl("cbAll"), CheckBox)
    chkbox.Visible = False
    For j As Integer = 16 To hdrItem.Cells.Count - 1
        Dim ctrl As LinkButton = CType(hdrItem.Cells(j).Controls(0), LinkButton)
        If ctrl IsNot Nothing Then
            Dim val As Integer = 0
            Integer.TryParse(ctrl.Text, val)
            If val > 0 Then
                hdrItem.Cells(j).Controls.Clear()
                hdrItem.Cells(j).Controls.Add(ctrl)
            End If
        End If
    Next
Next

Hello Casey,

Try setting the property ExportOnlyData as true.
aspx:

<ExportSettings ExportOnlyData="true"></ExportSettings>

I already tried that. The example screenshots attached below were generated with that property set to True. Can you think of another way of accomplishing this?

Hello Casey,

I cannot reproduce the issue at my end. Check the following help documentation which explains about exporting.
