+
+## Description
+
+In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how you can hide different parts of the RadSpreadsheet control.
+
+## Solution
+
+#### **Hide Formula Bar**
+
+````C#
+
+this.radSpreadsheet1.SpreadsheetElement.FormulaBarHeight = 0;
+this.radSpreadsheet1.SpreadsheetElement.FormulaBar.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed;
+
+````
+
+#### **Hide the zoom track bar and the scale button at the bottom**
+
+````C#
+
+(this.radSpreadsheet1.SpreadsheetElement.StatusBar.Children[1]).Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed;
+(this.radSpreadsheet1.SpreadsheetElement.StatusBar.Children[2] as RadTrackBarElement).Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed;
+
+````
+
+#### **Suppress Context Menu**
+
+Subscribe to the `ContextMenuShowing` event and set the `Menu` property to `null`:
+   
+```C#
+
+radSpreadsheet1.SpreadsheetElement.ContextMenuShowing += SpreadsheetElement_ContextMenuShowing;
+
+private void SpreadsheetElement_ContextMenuShowing(object sender, SpreadsheetContextMenuOpeningEventArgs e)
+{
+   e.Menu = null;       
+}
+
+````
+
+#### **Disable Selection Rectangle**
+
+The control does not provide a way to fully disable the selection. A possible solution here will be to disable the presenter in the editor:
+   
+   
+````C#
+   
+protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
+{
+   base.OnLoad(e);
+   if (this.radSpreadsheet1.SpreadsheetElement.ActiveWorksheetEditor.ActivePresenter is NormalWorksheetEditorPresenter worksheetEditorPresenter)
+   {
+	   worksheetEditorPresenter.Enabled = false;
+   }
+}
+
+````
+
+#### **Suppress Protected Worksheet Message**
+   
+In general, the messages shown in the control will trigger the **MessageShowing** event. In thе event handler, you can check the NotificationType and handle the event.
+   
+````C#
+
+private void SpreadsheetElement_MessageShowing(object sender, Telerik.WinForms.Controls.Spreadsheet.MessageShowingEventArgs e)
+{
+   if (e.NotificationType == Telerik.WinForms.Controls.Spreadsheet.Dialogs.MessageBoxNotificationType.ProtectedWorksheetError)
+   {
+	   e.IsHandled = true;
+   }            
+}
+
+````
+
+#### **Hide + Sign for Adding Worksheets**
+  
+````csharp
+
+protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
+{
+   base.OnLoad(e);
+   this.radSpreadsheet1.SpreadsheetElement.SheetSelector.Children[4].Children[1].Visibility = ElementVisibility.Collapsed;
+}
+
+````
