Technically you cannot hide a column, however you can set its width equal to zero, obtaining the same effect (albeit the user can change it). :)

Pressing 'Ctrl + +' redisplays it. It's the shortcut for auto resizing list control columns, based on it's contents, in windows.

I know. If you need to handle this then a more elaborate approach involves overriding

One way could be to create a virtual list control and just don't give any text to hidden columns(this includes the header for the column), this way windows won't show this column I guess, even when this shortcut is pressed. :~

This implies you have to copy data elsewhere. Once you copied data you may just delete the column. :)

Yeah that is what I meant by virtual list.

I have to keep the data in the column, but only thing is end user should not know that there is the column i list.

But why? There may be another, more elegant, solution.
