Up front, this may be a dumb question :)

When our app creates a DataGridView, in the header, on the far right, there's a button with three dots.  If you click the button, then it shows a popup with checkboxes for each column.  Unchecking a column hides the column.

What is this button called?  And, is there any way to disable it?

Thanks

    Hi David,

    you can show/hide that button by setting the property "ShowColumnVisibilityMenu".

    Best regards
    Frank

    THANK YOU!

    I must have scrolled through the properties 100 times looking for that, and I never guessed the right words to ask google.
