Hi Subin,

If you need to search within all Grids (the parent and all nested Grid instances), this is not supported scenario, because the filtering is applied over the dataSource of the Grid and the nested widgets are not part of the parent dataSource. If you have something different in mind, please provide more information on the requirement.

Regarding the checkboxes in the innermost Grid, you could configure a "selectable" column if you are using the latest versions of the widgets, which will render a checkbox for selecting the rows:
If you need a checkbox for other purposes you could use a template column.

Is this, "If you need to search within all Grids (the parent and all nested Grid instances), this is not supported scenario", still considered an "unsupported scenario"?

Hi Nick,

Since the hierarchical Grid is supported only through rendering separate nested Grids in the detail row, and due to the fact that each Grid has its own filtering functionality, it is still consider unsupported scenario to filter all levels at once. The only possible solution would be to have external filter that will determine with custom logic which rows of the parent Grid will be returned by filtering the data for the nested Grid first.

Nevertheless, if the data in all levels is the same, using hierarchical Grid might not be the best solution and you might take a look at the TreeList instead:

Hope this helps.
