Apply filter without opening filter pop up

[Julian]

Hi,

I'd like to set my custom filter in datagrid with some values without opening filter pop-up.

As far as I understand for that purpose I have to call somehow method Prepare(GridViewBoundColumnBase gridViewColumn) of my filter to initialize my filter.

Can you please tell me or better show me, how can I clever handle such situation.

Thank u in advance,
Julian

Hello Julian,

You can define a ColumnFilterDescriptor in the code and add it to the FilterDescriptors collection of the RadGridView. Thus it will pre-filter the data. You can see this help topic on the matter.

Hi Julian,

I must have given you a wrong link, please excuse me. The correct one is this:

Attached you can find a sample project.

Thank you.

But in my situation I have custom filter control. The implementation of that is located in another file - CustomFilterControl.

it means that I can't call directly the grid from my control.

thx.

Hello Julian,

The custom filter control should know about the column it is in. Having the column, you can access the gridview via its DataControl property.
