Customizing Complex Filter

[Claude IMBERT]

Hi Telerik Team,

In a datagridview, I have filters enabled on columns.
I would like to customize the Complex filter with my own skin.
You can see my explanation in the 2 attachments.

Hi Claude IMBERT,

You have to create your custom theme by using the Visual Style Builder. Then you should replace the default filter cell with a custom one that overrides the CreateCompositeFilterForm method. Please consider the code snippet below:

void radGridView1_CreateCell(object sender, GridViewCreateCellEventArgs e)

{

    if (e.CellType == typeof(GridFilterCellElement))

    {

        e.CellType = typeof(MyFilterCell);

    }

}

 

public class MyFilterCell : GridFilterCellElement

{

    public MyFilterCell(GridViewDataColumn column, GridRowElement row)

        : base(column, row)

    {

    }

 

    protected override Type ThemeEffectiveType

    {

        get { return typeof(GridFilterCellElement); }

    }

 

    protected override CompositeFilterForm CreateCompositeFilterForm()

    {

        CompositeFilterForm form = base.CreateCompositeFilterForm();

        form.ThemeName = "Aqua";

        ThemeResolutionService.ApplyThemeToControlTree(form, "Aqua");

        return form;

    }

}

Should you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Best wishes,
