Binding to an IFilteringControl Custom Filter Control.

[Martin]

I've made a YearRange custom filtering control that expose a DependencyProperty called Vintage

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Width="110" DataMemberBinding="{Binding ModelVariant.Vintage}" Header="Årgang">
  <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.FilteringControl>
    <local:CustomGridFilter Vintage="{Binding ElementName=root, Path=VintageYear, Mode=TwoWay}" />
  </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.FilteringControl>
</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

 public int? Vintage
        {
            get { return (int?)GetValue(VintageProperty); }
            set { SetValue(VintageProperty, value); }
        }

        public static readonly DependencyProperty VintageProperty =
            DependencyProperty.Register(
                "Vintage",
                typeof(int?),
                typeof(CustomGridFilter),
                new PropertyMetadata(
                    null,
                    (sender, evt) => { ((CustomGridFilter)sender).OnPropertyChanged("Vintage"); }
                )
            );

Apparently the property never changes (INotifyPropertyChanged) even though it's databound to a property on the container. 

So i suspect that the only other way to send a new filtering parameter to the Custom Filter Control is through other means ?

Or is this SUPPOSED to work ? 

How would i programatically send the new filtering parameter to the control ?

Hello Martin,

Thank you for the provided code snippet.

I have tested your scenario but wasn't able to reproduce the described behavior. You can check the attached project which I think mimics your implementation. When you run the project, change the value in the TextBox below the RadGridView. Then open the filter on the last column. You can see that there is a TextBlock at the bottom of the filter which has the same value as the TextBox. Can you check it out and let me know what I am missing for your set-up?
