I am using GridView for Winforms and the data is bound using a dataset. One of the columns in the dataset's table is an integer column. I have enabled Filter's for this column in GridView and this shows up as a funnel. When I right click on the funnel, there is a context menu with all the filtering options (No filter,Equals,Not Equals etc). When I click on the "Between" menu item in this context menu, the application crashes with the System.Argument exception {"Not enough values."}. The complete stack trace below.
How can we fix this behaviour, Is there any way to programatically disable some of the menu items.

Hello Rama,

This is a known issue that was fixed last week. The fix will be available in the next release of RadControls for WinForms. And for now you can workaround the issue by creating the filter for the column with two parameters like:
 
FilterExpression filter = new FilterExpression(FilterExpression.BinaryOperation.AND, GridKnownFunction.EqualTo, 
                GridFilterCellElement.ParameterName, GridFilterCellElement.ParameterName2); 
 
            this.radGridView1.Columns["ID"].Filter = filter; 

You should note that the filter cell editor cannot be used for editing the values in a complex filter function that requires more than one parameter like Between - in this case the custom filter dialog should be used. The fix that I mentioned includes automatic showing of that dialog when a complex filer function is selected.

 
Best wishes,

Hello,
I have the same problem.
I don't understand, how I can use the workaround. How can I examine in the event FilterChanging, which kind of filter is used?
For a reference I would be grateful.

Hi Christian,

There is no need to use this code in theFilterChanging event handler.
It is much easier to put it for example at the end of the constructor of your form that contains the RadGridView control or at the end of the OnLoad override.

Hi,
thank you.
But I have the still following questions:
a) How can I recognize, which kind of filter of the users used? Only when selecting the filter 'Between' a further form for the input of the data should be displayed.
b) How can I determine, which data type is present in the selected column?

For hints I am grateful.

Hello Christian,

Currently the custom filter dialog is displayed when the user selects a custom filter function or a composite one (with more than one parameters like for example Between). We are planning to extend the filtering functionality of RadGridView to allow you more control over it, so any suggestions are most welcome.

And at the moment in order to know when the user selects a different filter function you could try subscribing for the CollectionChanged event of the FilterExpressions collection:
this.radGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.FilterExpressions.CollectionChanged += new Telerik.WinControls.Data.NotifyCollectionChangedEventHandler(FilterExpressions_CollectionChanged); 

or if you are interested in changes of the filter for a specific column you could subscribe to the PropertyChanged event if its filter:
this.radGridView1.Columns[0].Filter.PropertyChanged += new PropertyChangedEventHandler(Filter_PropertyChanged); 


You can easily examine the type of data in a column using its DataType property like below:
Type firstColumnType = this.radGridView1.Columns[0].DataType; 



All the best,
Jordan
