Hi,

Yes. You can do that. You can either just make sure you clear out the text on the server side, or use CSS to hide the cell text.

To clear out the text, you can set the GridCell's Value to null. You can either do this on the server side after data binding, or do it on the client side by calling this function:

To do it through CSS style, you would apply "display:none" or "color: same_fore_color_as_your_background_color" in your cell style. The Grid provide two ways for you to apply different styles for different cells:

1. Conditional formating based on your data source. See here for a working example:

2. Explicitly overriding cell style:

Hope this helps. Please feel free to let us know if you have any more questions.

Thanks!
