Expose more Filter events

[Martin]

Currently the gridview exposes a few events originating from the filter. But I need more. I need to know when the user clicks the filter "textbox" (enter or beginedit) and when the user closes it (leave or endedit). I'm certain internally these events are available, but is there any way to expose them to my code?

Regards,
Martin

Hello Martin,

Thank you for contacting us.

To achieve the desired results you can use the existing events. For example you can find out whether a FilterCell is being edited in the CellBeginEdit event as follows:

void Grid_CellBeginEdit(object sender, GridViewCellCancelEventArgs e
{
    if (this.Grid.CurrentCell is GridFilterCellElement)
    {

    }
}

Similar techniques can be used for other similar scenarios. The RadControlSpy tool can be helpful for such scenarios as it will help you determine the type of the desired UI element.

Let me know, should you require further assistance.
