[Solved] Apply Filter for export only

[Adam Lindsay]

I need to export a subset of documents from a grid.  Here is the flow:

1. User Clicks export
2. A popup window displays with date fields (To and From)
3. User populates fields and clicks "Go"
4. Only the rows within the user entered dates are exported
5.  The grid on the screen is unchanged

I don't want to filter the grid on the screen.  I would like to apply the filter only in the code behind while filtering. Is this possible?

Thanks.

Hello Adam,

In order to achieve the desired functionality you can use the ExportButton_Click event to specify an initial filter. Note that after setting the FilterExpression property of the MasterTableView, you must rebind the grid:
