Custom Filter Text

[Lovella Bacaud]

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;
    }
}
