Hello,

Is there a way so that when I open up the filter in the grid, "Contains" will be the default in the dropdownlist? Instead of the first item in the list ?

Regards,

Emil

is it possible to do this in the c# razor view ? instead of jquery ?

I tried something like that, but it didnt work, didnt give me any errors though.

 @(Html.Kendo().Grid<VaultLeitarvefur.Models.VaultNidurstodur>()
    .Name("grid")
    .Columns(columns =>
    {
        columns.Bound(p => p.Verkefni).Title(VaultLeitarvefur.Models.VaultNidurstodur.Key01).Width(150).Filterable(u => u.Cell(j => j.Operator("Contains")));

I copied your verison and it actually is exactly the same as mine and doesnt work.

I do have 

.Filterable(f => f.Operators(m => m.ForString(n => n.IsEqualTo("Jafngilt")
                        .EndsWith("Lýkur með")
                        .IsEmpty("Er tómt")
                        .IsNotEmpty("Er Ekki tómt")
                        .IsNotEqualTo("Er ekki jafngilt")
                        .IsNotNull("Er ekki null")
                        .IsNull("Er null")
                        .StartsWith("Hefst með")
                        .Contains("Inniheldur")
                        .DoesNotContain("Inniheldur ekki")
                         )))

later in the code, but that should affect it. I tried contains and Contains it still doesnt select that item from the dropdownlists.

any ideas ?

there are no errors, just selects the first one.

Well done, that was what was missing. I just had .Filterable() , didnt set the mode.

Thank you

Emil
