[Solved] Filter button has column header menu after postback

[Joel]

I'm having some trouble with filter menus. When I first load the page, I don't have menus when I click the filter buttons.

I then filter using the CurrentFilterFunction="Contains" setting and pressing <tab>, a postback occurs, and now my filter buttons have the column header menus (Sort Ascending..., Group By, Best fit, etc.)

Any ideas why or what I can do to get and keep the proper filter menus?

C#

protected override void OnPreRender(System.EventArgs e)

{

    // ... Control setup unrelated to RadGrid1

  

    // Test filtering

    bool Filter = true;

    if (Filter)

    {

        RadGrid1.AllowFilteringByColumn = Filter;

        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.AllowFilteringByColumn = Filter;

    }

}

// I've also got handlers for these, but they don't setup filtering:

            RadGrid1.PreRender += RadGrid1_PreRender;
            RadGrid1.ItemCreated += RadGrid1_ItemCreated;
            RadGrid1.ItemDataBound += RadGrid1_ItemDataBound;
            RadGrid1.NeedDataSource += RadGrid1_NeedDataSource;
            RadGrid1.GroupsChanging += RadGrid1_GroupsChanging;

Hi Joel,

I prepared a small sample based on the provided code and on my side seems to work correctly. Could you please give it a try and let me know how it differs from your real setup?
