Column filters

[Emil]

I have a fully working grid that I can filter per. column , that is you can filter by each column with say "contains" text.

Im wondering if there is a way for me to initialize that with path variables. f.e.

 

http://localhost:54000/home/index?title=something&name=othername 

 

and then the filter in the title column would have its filter text = "something" and the column name would have the filter text = "othername" etc.

 

I have a few columns.

 

Any ideas on how to do this ?

I have a index action in home controller that can reiceive these filter strings, but I dont know how to "set" them in the grid.

I could possibly send them into the view in the viewbag.

 

Regards,

Emil

Hello Emil,

Depending if the MVC wrappers are used or not, there are two possible approaches:

1) Using MVC wrappers- The Grid will automatically apply the state values if they are in the correct format. Please check the following thread in our forum:

2) Using the vanilla HTML/JS Kendo UI widgets - Check how to parse the query string parameters into filter rules (e.g. JavaScript objects). This can be done either on the server or on the client:

I hope this is helpful.
