Adding a FilterTemplate to a column, makes my other filters not work

[Ryan Pope]

Hello,

I currently have a RadGrid that has multiple columns with Auto Generated filters. The last column in the grid is a select column which I do not want a filter at the top of. I tried to fix this by adding an empty <FilterTemplate>&nbsp;</FilterTemplate>. This worked and removed the filter from above the select column, but none of my filters work now. If there a reason why this is happening?

My code is posted below:

<telerik:radgrid runat="server" DataSourceID="dsFindNavCustomers"
    GridLines="None" ID="grdCustomers" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
    AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" PageSize="15"
    AllowFilteringByColumn="True" CellSpacing="0">
    <PagerStyle Mode="Slider" />
    <FilterItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" />
    <MasterTableView datasourceid="dsFindNavCustomers"
        nomasterrecordstext="There are no customers matching your filters.">
        <Columns>
            <telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="No." HeaderText="Customer No." UniqueName="CustomerNo">
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <asp:Label ID="lblCustomerNo" runat="server" Text='<%# Container.DataItem("No.") %>'></asp:Label>
                </ItemTemplate>
                <HeaderStyle Font-Bold="True" Font-Italic="False" Font-Overline="False" HorizontalAlign="Left"
                    Font-Strikeout="False" Font-Underline="False" Width="100px" Wrap="True" />
                <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" />

                <FilterTemplate>

                </FilterTemplate>
                <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
            </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

    </MasterTableView>
    <clientsettings>
        <selecting enabledragtoselectrows="False" />
    </clientsettings>
</telerik:radgrid>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Ryan Pope,

Try setting the AllowFiltering property for the GridTemplateColumn to false and see if helps to disable the filter function in TemplateColumn .
ASPX:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="select"  AllowFiltering="false">
                     </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
