Code Behind for RadGridView Filtering

[Jack]

Hello,

I had to create a template of the grid filtering control so I could replace the text entry control with a Watermark text entry control. Since I am not changing the functionality of the control, is it possible to get access to the code behind so I don't have to rewrite it?

Also, can you point to a good reference on the object model of the column filtering system so I can understand it better? 

Thanks,
Jack Allread

Hello Jack,

I'm uncertain whether I completely understood your scenario, but if you wish to create a custom field filter editor, you can use the approach from the following article: Create a Custom Field Filter Editor.

Alternatively, you can simply modify the default generated editor by handling the FieldFilterEditorCreated event as explained in this article: Customize the Default Field Filter Editor.

As for more details on the filtering system, you can have a look at the Filtering section in our online documentation. If you find this insufficient, you can also download the source code and further investigate it for more details.

I hope you find this information helpful. Do let me know if any further questions or concerns arise.

Regards,
