Can a RadGrid have combined Filtering Mode?

[Sintayehu]

Hi,

We have a Grid where some columns are easily filtered using the telerik row filter. And we like this quick filter access for most columns but but some we would like to enable the popup filter for.

Is there a way to make these two modes be supported in a Grid?

Hello,

I am afraid that there is not an option to mix both the filtering modes for the same RadGridView.

That is unfortunate. I also tried to create a custom Filtering Control per http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/gridview-filtering-custom-filtering-controls.html but this aproach only works for popup mode.

Any recomendations on how I could allow (Date or numeric ) range filtering when the Grid is in FilterRow Mode?

Hi,

You can always change the default editor when the filtering mode is FilterRow. So you will have your own custom editor in place of the default one (i.e. the TextBox or RadDateTimePicker that we provide by default). Actually, this editor is the same that you see in our stock FilteringControl - it is the upper one of the two editors that you see in our stock FilteringControl.

Replacing the default filter editor is described here.

Yeah, I actually have used that method to replace the dynamically generated textbox.
 
However I don't see this method help create an advance filter control like the pop up filter.

It seems to me that in FilterRow Mode there can only be one field editor per column. I even doubt that this approach can be used to even to create a simple date range filter.

But please let me know if there is an example showing the use of more than one field editor per column. or something that shows if the viewmodel supports this.

Thanks!

Hello,

I am afraid that the underlying "Filter Row" view model is very simple and supports only one editor which you can replace. Unfortunately, there is no way to replace it with two editors.

You will have to use the Popup mode which is more advanced and you can create a date range filter there since there are two available editors. You can even replace the default filtering control with a custom one as shown in this demo. The founded column has a custom filtering control which is a date range filter. Unfortunately, you cannot use this when in Filter Row mode. This is by design.
