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

{
//To hide the dropdown button.
e.Style.ShowButtons = GridShowButtons.Hide;
}
