In my Kendo.Grid I have:

columns.Bound(c => c.FORMRIGHTTYPEID).Width("25").Title("Form Right").HtmlAttributes(new { @class = "text-align: center;" })
.Template(@<text>
@if (item.FORMRIGHTTYPEID != null)
{
@DisplayRight((long)item.FORMRIGHTTYPEID)
}
</text>);

Note that I am displaying a text value associated w/the FORMRIGHTTYPEID numeric value. I have made the grid "Filterable":

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<EPIMS.Models.FORMRIGHTS>()

...

.Scrollable()
.Groupable()
.Sortable()
.Filterable(filterable => filterable
.Extra(false)
.Operators(operators => operators
.ForString(str => str.Clear()
.Contains("Contains")
)))
.Pageable(pageable => pageable
.Refresh(true)
.PageSizes(true)
.ButtonCount(5))
.BindTo(Model)

)

My problem is that the Filter option shows "Show items with value that: Is equal to" but does not allow me to enter text. Rather (and as expected), the value MUST BE numeric as the column is bound to a numeric value field.

Is it possible to customize the Filter?

Thanks
