[Solved] Custom GridView filter

[Karanjit Siyan]

I saw your example on the demos on creating a custom DateFilter

http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#GridView/CustomFilterControls

Your standard filters have a little close x box to close the filter.

I would like to know how to 

1. provide the custom close icon. It looks a like a Rad Button with a graphic X. I am using a mix of custom and standard filters and would like the same look and feel. Your code sample does not have the close icon.
2. What method do I call for this close button to close the filter. I know clicking on the funnel icon closes the filter but your standard filters have a separate close capability and I want the same look and feel.
3. In the background color for the border in the example, you are using a simple brush. In the standard filters you are using a gradient brush. What values do I use for this gradient brush to get the same look and feel as your standard filters?

Hi Karanjit Siyan,

Basically, you may get the style of the filtering control, by extracting its template with Blend. Thus you will get all the brushes you require as well as the style of the button. As for closing the filter on clicking the close button, you may take a look at this blog post for a reference.
