Removing the sort arrow from headers

Hello, Ohad,

The RadListView.EnableColumnSort property controls whether the sort arrows in the header cells will be displayed. If you set it to false, the arrows won't be shown in the headers at all.

Additional information about sorting in RadListView is available in the following help article: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/listview/features/sorting 

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thanks for the reply.

I've already set the EnableColumnSort property to false, and it's still showing.

Also the RadListView.EnableColumnSort property is already initialized with false, and when I add a RadListView control to the form the sort arrows are showing, so this property doesn't change the arrows visibility.

BTW - I'm using the Material theme.

        private void RadListView1_CellFormatting(object sender, ListViewCellFormattingEventArgs e)
        {
            DetailListViewHeaderCellElement headerCell = e.CellElement as DetailListViewHeaderCellElement;
            if (headerCell != null)
            {
                ArrowPrimitive arrow = headerCell.FindDescendant<ArrowPrimitive>();
                if (arrow!=null)
                {
                    arrow.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Collapsed;
                }
            }
        }

        private void RadForm1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        { 
            this.productsTableAdapter.Fill(this.nwindDataSet.Products);

            this.radListView1.EnableSorting = true;
            this.radListView1.EnableColumnSort = false;
            SortDescriptor sort = new SortDescriptor("ProductName", ListSortDirection.Descending);
            radListView1.SortDescriptors.Add(sort);
        }

Should you have further questions please let me know.

UPDATE: I've changed to other theme and the RadListView.EnableColumnSort = false  now hides the arrows, I changed again to Material theme and the arrows are still showing, so apparently this is a bug on the Material theme.

I need to get the arrow's control and change it's visibility somehow.

Thanks, your code in the CellFormatting worked.

It's still looks like a bug on the Material theme, this was my code:

this.radListView1.EnableSorting = false;

this.radListView1.EnableColumnSort = false;

and no SortDescriptor, and still I had the arrows visible.

But it works now with your code, so many thanks!
