Grid column filter search on Kendo Grid column header.

[sri]

To whom so ever it may concern,

I have a kendo grid and I have a filter on the column header like the one shown in the attached .

the page loads, the grid populates with data. After the page loads successfully with the grid and the data, When I am trying to type some characters in column header filter to search, for each character I type, going to server call (I mean its calling controller action method every time). I don't want this round trip to happen for every character provide in filter. Is there any way to not call server as data is already the grid and when I type any character in box, it just filters using the grid data rather than doing round trip.

This is what I have used in the grid.

            .Filterable(ftb => ftb.Mode(GridFilterMode.Row))
            .Filterable()
            //.Sortable()
            .Resizable(rsb => rsb.Columns(true))
            //.ColumnMenu(c=>c.Sortable(false).Filterable(true))
            //.Reorderable(r => r.Columns(true))
            .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
            .Ajax()
            .Read(read => read.Action("GetAllSiteReleases", "Dashboard").Data("SetFilter"))
            .ServerOperation(false)

Can I get any help on this.

Hi Eyup,

Thanks for the reply. I tried your solution and it works. 

 I have one more question as well. Instead of providing .filterbale, .show filter and .length on every column, can we do it once so it can be applied to whole grid columns.

 

Thanks!

Sri

Hello Sri,

I am afraid this requirement is not supported. Generally, you can access the kendo grid object using jQuery and apply some public settings, however, it will required custom implementation:
