Add custom filtertemplate in RadGrid

[Raji]

Hi,

Does any one know how to add custom filtertemplates in RadGrid dynamically? I have a RadGrid with column filtering. The colums are built dynamically based on datatype. For numeric it uses GridNumericColumn and for date it uses GridDateTimeColumn. The numeric column filter box puts comma after you have entered the numbers. I do not want the comma to appear. I also want to limit the text length entered in the filter field.

Thanks,
Raji

Hello Raji,

Try the following code snippet to limit the number of characters when filtering.
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  GridFilteringItem item = (GridFilteringItem)RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.FilteringItem)[0];
  TextBox txt = (TextBox)item["ColumnUniqueName"].Controls[0];
  txt.MaxLength = 2;
}

Also check the following forum thread.

Hi Shinu,

Thanks for pointing me to the right direction. Using the link I was able to create the custom filter. Now I want to put the filter menu besides the filter textbox. Just like how the normal radgrid does the filtering by selecting the menu.

Thanks,
Raji
