I use standard filters for each grid column. The functionality works fine.
But we would like to fit the filter controls automatically when user resizes the columns.

Grid contains corresponding property "FilterControlWidth" and it is possible to set it to "100%". But, unfortunately, it doesn't work as we expected. The "100%" width can be specified only for the textbox and it means that corresponding filter icon always wraps.
The similar problem is for DateTime columns with textbox and 2 icons (date selection and filter).

The idea is to set "100%" for a wrapper on the textbox and filter icon in order to avoid the filter row wrapping.

Is it possible to fit the filter controls automatically?

Hi Slava,

I am afraid there is no wrapper for the filter textbox and icon.

Here is a demo, which shows how to make filtering controls expand together with the columns:

This doesn't solve the problem of the filter icon wrapping.  If the filter textbox and icon have a larger combined width than the data in the grid, the filter icon will still wrap.  Any other ideas?

Hello Jonny,

Here is a demo:

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %>
<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>
 
<script runat="server">
 
protected void RadGrid_NeedDataSource(object sender, GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)
{
    DataTable dt = new DataTable();
    DataRow dr;
    int colsNum = 4;
    int rowsNum = 8;
    string colName = "Column";
 
    for (int j = 1; j <= colsNum; j++)
    {
        dt.Columns.Add(String.Format("{0}{1}", colName, j));
    }
 
    for (int i = 1; i <= rowsNum; i++)
    {
        dr = dt.NewRow();
 
        for (int k = 1; k <= colsNum; k++)
        {
            dr[String.Format("{0}{1}", colName, k)] = String.Format("{0}{1} Row{2}", colName, k, i);
        }
        dt.Rows.Add(dr);
    }
 
    (sender as RadGrid).DataSource = dt;
}
 
protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridFilteringItem)
    {
        foreach (TableCell cell in e.Item.Cells)
        {
            if (cell.Controls.Count > 0)
            {
                cell.Controls.AddAt(0, new LiteralControl("<nobr>"));
                cell.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("</nobr>"));
            }
        }
    }
}
     
</script>
