Answer 1

You've already posted here and didn't answer to the people who oriented you toward the setHidden methode of the ListGridField.

Answer 2

There is simple and clean workaround. Just set width parameter of the filed to '0'. Additionally clear title parameter if you have one (but this is only necessary in some sophisticated ListGrid use cases).

Answer 3

The clean way is to hide the ListGridField like this:

    ListGridField groupField = new ListGridField(FLD_CATEGORY, "Group");
    groupField.setHidden(true);

DataSource ds = new DataSource() {
    {
        DataSourceTextField field = new DataSourceTextField();
        field.setHidden(true);

        addField(field);
    }
}
