Distinct Filter items - how to show as Colours

[james]

Hi There,

I have a requirement to show the distinct filter values which are bound to a colour hex string as the colours they are rather than the raw hex values.  Is there a quick way to do this with the stock filtering control?

 

Many Thanks

Hello James,

This is not possible out of the box, however, you can check the Filter Image Column sdk example. There, you will find a sample project showing how to filter the GridViewImageColumn. The approach towards other column would be similar.
Although GitHub is a very well-known platform, please note you can download and configure SDK Samples Browser as described in the documentation.

Thanks for your reply,

 We have just managed to accomplish what we needed by writing our own filter control and setting the column to use our bespoke filter control.

Many Thanks
