Change Column Style When Filtered

[Rob]

Hi

Does anyone know how to change the column style when a column is filtered, in a similar way to when you sort a column?

I have a number of grids which are loaded with default filters and it would be nice if I can highlight somehow which filters are already applied when a grid loads.

If it is not possible to change the column style then some other form of highlighting, such as the filter textbox style, would work just as well.

Thanks in advance for any help

Cheers
Rob

Hi Rob,

You can try the following code snippet to highlight the filtered column.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.FilterCommandName)
  {
    Pair filterPair = (Pair)e.CommandArgument;
    string FilteredColumn = filterPair.Second.ToString();
    RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn(FilteredColumn ).ItemStyle.BackColor = Color.Yellow;
  }
}

Thanks,
Princy

Hi Rob,

I am happy to inform you that we have planned to implement the desired functionality for one of the upcoming releases. When a column is filtered in the Grid, the funnel button will change its state.

Hi Pavina

Many thanks for the great news that this is going to be a standard feature in a future release. Do you have any idea of when this is likely to be included?

Hi Rob,

We will try to include this feature for the next Q2 2014 release of the controls or at least for the Q2 2014 SP1.
