Customize filtering row

[Skurken]

Hi there guys

I'm trying to customize the filtering row in a Winform Telerik Grid. What I want is to hide the Filter Icon and only show the text boxes. When a user enteres text in the text box it should apply the "Contains" filter on the column.

I have been using Telerik ASP Net. Radgrid quite a lot and could set the "ShowFilterIcon=false" and on the gridboundcolumn and "AutoPostBackOnFilter=true" to get the desired functionality.

Any hints?

Hello,

In order to hide the filter icon in the grid, you'll need to subscribe to the ViewCellFormatting event. This can be done in the following way:

this.radGridView1.ViewCellFormatting += new CellFormattingEventHandler(radGridView1_ViewCellFormatting);

void radGridView1_ViewCellFormatting(Object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CellElement is GridFilterCellElement)
    {
        GridFilterCellElement cell = (GridFilterCellElement)e.CellElement;
        cell.FilterButton.Image = null;
    }

}

You can learn about setting filters programatically at this documentation link
Hope that helps
