If I filter data in a grid, and then go to clear that filter by simply clearing the filter string and clicking 'Filter', I would like to perform the same action as clicking 'Clear'. Is this at all possible? If so, how? TIA

Hi David,


This functionality is not supported out of the box, but it could be achieved with a custom implementation. For example you could bind to the filterMenuInit event of the Grid and attach a click handler to the filter button.
E.g.
function onFilterMenuInit(e) {
    var grid = this;
    var menu = e.container;
  
    menu.find("button[type='submit']").click(function () {
        var emptyInputs = true;
  
        menu.find("input").each(function () {
            if ($(this).val()) {
                emptyInputs = false;
            }
        });
          
        if (emptyInputs) {
            menu.find("button[type='reset']").click();
        }
    });
}

I hope this information helps.

I overwrite function kendo.ui.FilterMenu.prototype.filter like this: 

kendo.ui.FilterMenu.prototype.filter = (function (originalFilter) {
    return function extendedFilter(e) {    
        var res = $.grep(e.filters, function(item) {
            return item.value != "";
        });
 
        if (res.length == 0) {
            this._reset();
        } else {
            originalFilter.apply(this, arguments);
        }
    }
})(kendo.ui.FilterMenu.prototype.filter);
