We are using a RadDataFilter to let the user create simple filter expressions. How can we modify the Members shown in the combobbox PART_SimpleFilterMemberComboBox?

Assume we filter on a list of employees where the employee class has three properties ID, Name and Age and we only want Name and Age to appear in the
PART_SimpleFilterMemberComboBox?

Hi,

You can achieve your goal, configuring the property you would like to not show with Browsable(false) attribute.
For example:
public class YourObject: INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
 
    private string id;
 
    [Browsable(false)]
    public string ID
    {
        get { return this.id; }
        set
        {
            if (value != this.id)
            {
                this.id= value;
                this.OnPropertyChanged("ID");
            }
        }
    }
  ...
  }

Let me know how this works for you.

Thank you Didie! [Browsable(false)] works fine for simple cases.

Meanwhile I have found myself a way to do more complex filtering: In the Initializied event of PART_SimpleFilterMemberComboBox I grab SimpleFilterViewModel.AvailableMembers which contains all browsable properties of the class I want to filter on.

Then I warp AvailableMembers into a CollectionView and set a Filter and SortDescriptions on this CollectionView.

The PART_SimpleFilterMemberComboBox.ItemsSource binds to this CollectionView.

So I can do any filtering I want and get a nicely ordered Combobox for the user to select the member he wants to filter on :)
