Column filters

[Emil]

I have a fully working grid that I can filter per. column , that is you can filter by each column with say "contains" text.

Im wondering if there is a way for me to initialize that with path variables. f.e.

 

http://localhost:54000/home/index?title=something&name=othername 

 

and then the filter in the title column would have its filter text = "something" and the column name would have the filter text = "othername" etc.

 

I have a few columns.

 

Any ideas on how to do this ?

I have a index action in home controller that can reiceive these filter strings, but I dont know how to "set" them in the grid.

I could possibly send them into the view in the viewbag.

 

Regards,

Emil

Hi Emil,

You can set the AutoBind of the Grid to "false", retrieve the query string when the page loads and trigger the filtering through the DataSource of the Grid through its filter method. For your convenience, following is a dojo example demonstrating the implementation:

• http://dojo.telerik.com/OcUWO

Setting the AutoBind to "false" will prevent the initial binding (without the filters), but if you have enabled the client-side operations, you could keep it to "true".

Hope this helps.
