Can I use FilteringControl independently??

[Vamshi]

I want to use FilteringControl(which appears on radgridview/radtreelistview coloumn filters) independently in my user control. Is it possible to use it independently, if yes can some one guide me with some examples...

Hi,

You can define the FilteringDropDown independently similar to:

<telerik:FilteringDropDown Name="fdd" Grid.Row="1" Margin="2"
                                    Column="{Binding Columns[\Established\], ElementName=clubsGrid}" />

 
Have in mind that if you place a FilteringDropDown outside the grid and associate it with a specific column, then this column has to be invisible in the grid, because its FilteringControl cannot be simultaneously shared between two separate Popups.

Thanks for the help..

I tried to use the way you suggested, everything looks good but I noticed that the pop-up (filtercontrol pop-up) is not appearing next to the funnel its appearing at random location, is there any way to set popup placement?

Hi,

I have placed the FitleringDropDown in a StackPanel or in a Grid.Row with Height=Auto and it always opens next to the funnel. 

<Grid>
     <Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
    <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
     </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        ....
    <StackPanel Grid.Row="1" Orientation="Horizontal">
      <telerik:FilteringDropDown Name="fdd" Column="{Binding Columns[\Established\], ElementName=clubsGrid}" />
    </StackPanel>
</Grid>
