Customizing icon toolitp when filtering radgrid

[Gaetan]

Good morning,

Is there anyway to change the tooltip of the filter icon of a radgrid column, so that it displays the current filter (i.e. 'contains', 'starts with', ...)?

thanks a lot,

Gaetan

Hi Gaetan,

You can use the following approach to achieve this requirement:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridFilteringItem)
    {
        GridFilteringItem item = e.Item as GridFilteringItem;
        foreach (GridColumn col in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.RenderColumns
            .OfType<IGridDataColumn>().Where(x => x.AllowFiltering))
        {
            Button button = item[col.UniqueName].FindControl("Filter_" + col.UniqueName) as Button;
            button.ToolTip = col.CurrentFilterFunction.ToString();
        }
    }
}

Hope this helps. Please give it a try and let me know if it works for you.
