    Hi,

    There is a RadGrid in one of my pages with filtering enabled. Can I modify the predefined Filter Text like "Starts With" and give a custom one?

    Thankyou,
    Lovella

    Hi Lovella,

    It is possible to give custom filter text. You can try the following sample code in the page load event.

    C#:
    GridFilterMenu menu = RadGrid1.FilterMenu;
    foreach (RadMenuItem item in menu.Items)
    {
        if (item.Text == "StartsWith")
        {
            item.Text = "YourCustomText";
        }
    }

    Thanks,
    Princy.

    Thankyou princy. That issue is sorted out. What if I want to hide all the other filters other than the custom one I set?

    Hi Lovella,

    Simply add an else inside the foreach loop and set item visibility to false. Please check the following C# code.

    C#:
    GridFilterMenu menu = RadGrid1.FilterMenu;
    foreach (RadMenuItem item in menu.Items)
    {
        if (item.Text == "StartsWith")
        {
            item.Text = "Your Custom Text";
        }
        else
        {
            item.Visible = false;
        }
    }
