rich:extendedDataTable

Hello, I have started using richfaces for the first time. I am very impressed by the richfaces set of components.

I am wondering though, if anyone knows a way to move the drop down menu button? The button where you select which columns to display. I would like this button in only one place, on the main header of the table. To me it makes more sense to have it in one place than the same thing repeated on every column as it may confuse users. The ascending/descending functionality to me make sense to go on every column, but I prefer to have people click the column header to do that, and I do not need the grouping. Thank you for reading, I welcome any advice.

If you don't want the context menu at all, you can turn it off:  enableContextMenu="false". I don't think there is a way to turn it on or off for specific columns.

thank you for the reply. I have found it better to use the regular data table and having rendered attributes on each column linked to booleans. It is much easier to control sizing and i get all the column selector checkboxes in one place.
