Column Title with Checklist Filtering

[Sonny]

Hello,

My customers would like to combine the column titles with checklist filtering. They would like to eliminate the textbox and display only the checklist button next to the column title as shown in the attached image. I realize that Radgrid does not have any built in ability to do this, but is there a way to customize it using code behind and/or client side scripting? If so, can you provide, or point me to an existing example?

Thanks,
~Sonny

Hi Sonny,

You can try hiding the FilterTextBox and add a label displaying the column title as shown below:

C#:

protected void rgrdSample_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    GridFilteringItem filteringItem = e.Item as GridFilteringItem;
    foreach (GridColumn col in rgrdSample.MasterTableView.Columns)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridFilteringItem)
        {
            Label lblTitle = new Label();
            lblTitle.ID = "lblTitle" + col.UniqueName;
            lblTitle.Text = col.HeaderText;
            TextBox filterbox = filteringItem[col.UniqueName].Controls[0] as TextBox;
            filterbox .Visible = false;
            filteringItem[col.UniqueName].Controls.AddAt(0, lblTitle);
        }
    }
}

Thanks,
Shinu
