CheckBoxColumn filter always showing

[Greg Ebert]

Hello

We recently upgraded to verson 2010.3.10.1109 and after the upgrade noticed that a GridView that we have with a CheckBoxColumn is always showing the checkbox in the filter row.  I have confirmed that AllowFilter is false for the given column.  Is there a workaround for this issue?

Thanks

Hello,

As you said, AllowFiltering on a column should disallow this. Please can you try the code below in a new project. It's just a RadGridView on a form and let me know if the filter is there.

Me.RadGridView1.Columns.Add(New GridViewTextBoxColumn("A"))
Me.RadGridView1.Columns.Add(New GridViewCheckBoxColumn("B"))
Dim rowInfo As GridViewRowInfo = Me.radGridView1.Rows.AddNew()
rowInfo.Cells(0).Value = "A1"
rowInfo.Cells(1).Value = True
rowInfo = Me.radGridView1.Rows.AddNew()
rowInfo.Cells("A").Value = "A2"
rowInfo.Cells("B").Value = False
Me.RadGridView1.Columns(1).AllowFiltering = False
Me.RadGridView1.EnableFiltering = True

Other things to check are:

• If you are saving and reloading layout, that an old layout file is still being applied
• That you have filter descriptors set up for that column in the designer file

Hope that helps
Richard

Hello Richard

I created the sample you suggested and saw the exact same issue.  I'm going to open a ticket.

Hi,

I see you are running 2010 Q3. Are you able to upgrade to SPI? There are many fixes in RadGridView (Release Notes) and this issue doesn't seem to occur in the latest version.
Thanks
Richard

As an addition, I see one of the fixes is
FIXED: GridViewDataColumn.AllowFiltering property is not working properly.

I'll download and test the lasted version against the test app.  I must admit that I'm hesitant to move forward with the Q3 SP given the large number of fixes listed for the GridView.  When we upgraded from Q2 SP1 to Q3 the number for fixes and regressions required a fair number of code changes on our end placing additional burden on QA to ensure the quality of our code.  There may not be time in our current release cycle to go through the same process a second time.

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that after upgrading to the latest SP, I've found the fixes in the latest quite valuable. The upgrade was painless.
hope that helps, but let me know if there's anything else I can so to help

Hello Darin,

This is a known issue. I am glad to inform you that it has been addressed in the latest release Q3 2010 SP1 (2010.3 10.1215). I would recommend upgrading to it.

Kind regards,
