Accessing Filtered items, with paging

[Aksel]

Hi,

I'm using a RadGridView to display several thousand objects stored in an ObservableCollection.
The GridView is bound to the PagedItems on a DataPager, which is bound to the ObservableCollection.
I use filters on the columns in the GridView to filter down the data, so that instead of 250 pages, I get 5 pages.

How can I access these items in these pages? That is, all the items that matches the filter, and not only the items on the current page.
(the items on the current page I can access by gridView.Items, but it does not show the whole collection)

Ok, sorry that I'm rubber ducking you, but I think I solved it.
I wrapped the Pager's Source in a QueryableCollectionView, and added all FilterDescriptors from the GridView to that CollectionView.

var view = new QueryableCollectionView(AlarmPager.Source);
foreach (var filterDescriptor in AlarmGrid.FilterDescriptors)
{
    view.FilterDescriptors.Add(filterDescriptor);
}

var alarmExs = view.Cast<AlarmEx>();

AlarmExs now contains the whole filtered collection.

Hi,

Indeed the GridView knows only about (is aware of) the Items currently available. Thank you for sharing your solution with the community.
