Custon Filter for RadGridview

[Sueleyman]

I want to have custom filter like the default fulltext search auf RadGridview. But I want to filter with custom expression that I definied.

For that purpose I look at first for a pssibility to override the FilterDescriptor of the default fulltext search. But I have no luck.

I can accept an "external" textbox that can raise a filter condtion on the RadGridview as well. Any suggestions?

Hi ,

Generally, the search-as-you-type functionality is just adding filter descriptors to the FilterDescriptors collection of RadGridView. So, all you need to do is to transform your custom expression into filter descriptors and insert them in the collection. 
You can find more information about filtering in the corresponding article.

That's not exacly for what I am looking for. I wan't filter with a textbox after I press enter or delayed due typing. The search condition on the collection should be free chooseable. Is that possible with the standard manner of telerik?

Hello ,

Could you clarify a bit  - do you want to write in a TextBox some kind of filter criteria and search on pressing enter button or you want to have listed filter criteria and the user to select one of them?
