Disable postback on filter selection

[vikas]

Hi...

I need to disable the post back operation that occurs when selecting any default expression from the Filter Menu.
But i need the the filter menu and its selection to persist throughout so that i can use it later to apply custom filter.
Any help in this regard.....

btw, i am implementing multi column filtering for which this is required.

Thanks.

Hello Vikas,

You can achieve your goal if you wire the OnCommand client event of the grid and in its handler to check whether the command name is "Filter". If this condition is satisfied you can cancel the event.

Here is a code snippet describing the suggested approach:

[ASPX]:

<ClientEvents OnCommand="GridCommand"/>

[Javascript]:

            function GridCommand(sender, args)
            {
                if (args.get_commandName() == "Filter")
                {
                    args.set_cancel(false); //stops the filter command
                }
            }

Hi, 

    I'm trying to implement this same functionality. First off, it's set_cancel(true) to cancel the event. Also, when using using this approach, the filter menu selection is not persisted as the original poster requested. Any Ideas?


Thanks

Hello Ross,

Please excuse me for the missunderstanding.

To cancel fired command you need to call args.set_cancel(true) method. Thus the command will be canceled and the chosen value will be persisted. Here is the correct implementation of the suggested approach:

            function GridCommand(sender, args)
            {
                if (args.get_commandName() == "Filter")
                {
                    args.set_cancel(true); //stops the filter command
                }
            }

Hi Georgi Krustev !

I had done the same that you have provided in your post below , but the problem here is that now Iam not able to FILTER my results.

All I want here is to FILTER my column without any postback .

But right now filtering is also being disabled ?

Please help.
