Change Filter to checkbox

[Eric Klein]

I have a grid with the following column

<telerik:GridCheckBoxColumn UniqueName="Active" DataField="Active" HeaderText="Active"  >
                        </telerik:GridCheckBoxColumn>

The problem is in the grid for the filter it shows a text box with the filter icon next to it.  I want the filter to be a checkbox, just like the fields are in the grid.  Why do the filter not match the rest of the grid

Hello Eric,

Try setting the DataType of the column to System.Boolean and see if it helps display the chekbox in the filter cell for that column. Also make sure that the field name set as the datafield for the column does exist in the DataSource to which the grid is bound to.
aspx:

<telerik:GridCheckBoxColumn UniqueName="Active" DataField="Active"
HeaderText="Active" DataType="System.Boolean">
</telerik:GridCheckBoxColumn>

Thanks
Princy
