Hide the row and column
By default, the row and column headers are visible while printing the grid. You can set the PrintRowHeader and PrintColHeader properties to false to hide the row and column headers during printing or print preview.
C#
//When the button is clicked, the print operation is performed.
private void btnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Disables PrintRowHeader to hide the row header while printing.
this.gridControl1.Model.Properties.PrintRowHeader = false;
//Disables PrintColHeader to hide the column header while printing.
this.gridControl1.Model.Properties.PrintColHeader = false;
try
{
GridPrintDocument gpd = new GridPrintDocument(gridControl1, true);
PrintPreviewDialog ppd = new PrintPreviewDialog();
ppd.Document = gpd;
if (ppd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
//Displays the print or printpreview dialog.
gpd.Print();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("error occured" + ex.Message);
}
}
VB
'When the button is clicked, the print operation is performed.
Private Sub btnPrint_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
'Disables PrintRowHeader to hide the row header while printing.
Me.gridControl1.Model.Properties.PrintRowHeader = False
'Disables PrintColHeader to hide the column header while printing.
Me.gridControl1.Model.Properties.PrintColHeader = False
Try
Dim gpd As New GridPrintDocument(gridControl1, True)
Dim ppd As New PrintPreviewDialog()
ppd.Document = gpd
If ppd.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
'Displays the print or printpreview dialog.
gpd.Print()
End If
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("error occured" & ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub
After applying the properties,

Note:
When the print button is clicked, the PrintPreviewDialog opens. In the PrintPreviewDialog, the table is shown without row and column headers. You can print this table through the Print option.
