# Hide Row and Column Headers and Gridlines

Row and Column headings, as well as worksheet gridlines, are handy when creating or editing a document in **RadSpreadsheet**. However, at times you would want to hide them in order to make the spreadsheet more clean and presentable. This article will teach you about the options provided by RadSpreadsheet that allow you to achieve this.

## Show or Hide Row and Column Headings

The **RadWorksheetEditor** exposes a Boolean property **ShowRowColumnHeadings**. Its default value is true and this makes the row and column headings visible. Setting the property to false as demonstrated in **Example 1** hides them.

#### Example 1: Hide Row and Column Headers

```C#
this.radSpreadsheet.SpreadsheetElement.ActiveWorksheetEditor.ShowRowColumnHeadings = false;
```

```VB.NET
Me.radSpreadsheet.SpreadsheetElement.ActiveWorksheetEditor.ShowRowColumnHeadings = False
```

## Show or Hide Gridlines

If you want to show or hide the gridlines of **RadSpreadsheet** just set the **ShowGridlines** Boolean property of **RadWorksheetEditor** to true for showing the gridlines or false for hiding them. **Example 2** shows how you can disable the gridlines.

#### Example 2: Hide Gridlines

```C#
this.radSpreadsheet.SpreadsheetElement.ActiveWorksheetEditor.ShowGridlines = false;
```

```VB.NET
Me.radSpreadsheet.SpreadsheetElement.ActiveWorksheetEditor.ShowGridlines = False
```
