Disable RadGrid Filter TextBox

[Brian]

Hi,

Is there a way to disable the RadGrid filter TextBox while keeping the filter button active and visible?  I'm using the button as a combo box and no longer need the TextBox.  Thanks for your help!

Hi Brian,

You can use the following approach to achieve this requirement:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridFilteringItem)
    {
        GridFilteringItem filterItem = e.Item as GridFilteringItem;
        TextBox textBox = filterItem["ShipName"].Controls[0] as TextBox;
        textBox.Enabled = false;
    }
}

In addition, you can use FilterTemplates:

I also suggest you to examine the samples provided in this post:

Hope this helps.
