Filter context menu not required on RadGrid

[kdyeqb]

Hi
I have a RadGrid with filter on two columns.When I click Filter Icon a context menu with the filter options opens up.But i do not wish to have this context menu.What I would like to have is , whenever I click on the icon the default "Contains" filter function should work without the opening of context menu.
I had gone through the demos on your website,it doesn't tell how to hide this context menu.

Please help.

Thanks

Hi,

In order to remove HeaderContextMenu of filter you can clear all the FilterMenu options in Radgrid like below. Also you can set CurrentFilterFunction  and AutoPostBackOnFilter property for column to perform a particular filter operation.

Aspx:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid2" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" AutoGenerateColumns="false"
            AllowFilteringByColumn="True" runat="server">
            <MasterTableView>
                <Columns>
                      <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ShipName" HeaderText="ShipName" UniqueName="ShipName"
                        DataType="System.String" CurrentFilterFunction="Contains" AutoPostBackOnFilter="true">
                    </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                </Columns>
            </MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>

C#:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 RadGrid2.FilterMenu.Items.Clear();
}

Hi
Thanks for your help.

Is it necessary to keep AutopostBackOnfilter property to true?What if I would llike to make it with this property to false.

Thanks

Hi,

If you set AutoPostBackOnFilter property of a column to True, the user does not need to press the filter button to initiate filtering. Instead, a postback filter operation occurs when the user types a filter in the filter box and presses [Enter] from the keyboard.

When AutoPostBackOnFilter is True, the column assumes a filter operation of Contains for string types or EqualTo for numeric types.

This is the logic I have used and please have a look into this documentation I refered.

Thanks,

Hi
Also  one thing I would like to ask;I am not able to see "No child records to display" when the filtered result is zero.After performing filter operation,no msg appears .How I can get this msg?

Thanks

Hi,

I guess you are using the filter in hierarchical RadGrid, Any way I tried filtering in a hierarchical RadGrid and I am getting the msg 'No child records to display" when there is no filtered output. Please make sure that you are not giving like NoDetailRecordsText=" " in the GridTableView. Please take a look into the sample code snippet I tried.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" AllowFilteringByColumn="true" >
            <MasterTableView  Name="Master"  ClientDataKeyNames="CustomerID" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" DataKeyNames="CustomerID"

CommandItemDisplay="Top">
                <DetailTables>
                    <telerik:GridTableView   Name="GridTableView1" DataKeyNames="OrderID" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2"
                        runat="server" CommandItemDisplay="Top" >
                        <ParentTableRelation>
                            <telerik:GridRelationFields DetailKeyField="CustomerID" MasterKeyField="CustomerID" />
                        </ParentTableRelation>
                        <Columns>
                            <telerik:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="OrderID" HeaderText="OrderID" HeaderButtonType="TextButton"
                                DataField="OrderID" UniqueName="OrderID"  AutoPostBackOnFilter="true">
                            </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                            <telerik:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="OrderDate" HeaderText="Date Ordered" HeaderButtonType="TextButton"
                                DataField="OrderDate" UniqueName="OrderDate">
                            </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                            <telerik:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="EmployeeID" HeaderText="EmployeeID" HeaderButtonType="TextButton"
                                DataField="EmployeeID" UniqueName="EmployeeID">
                            </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                        </Columns>
                    </telerik:GridTableView>
                </DetailTables>
                <Columns>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn  SortExpression="CustomerID" HeaderText="CustomerID" HeaderButtonType="TextButton"
                        DataField="CustomerID" UniqueName="CustomerID">
                    </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="ContactName" HeaderText="Contact Name" HeaderButtonType="TextButton"
                        DataField="ContactName" UniqueName="ContactName">
                    </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="CompanyName" HeaderText="Company" HeaderButtonType="TextButton"
                        DataField="CompanyName" UniqueName="CompanyName">
                    </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                </Columns>
          </MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>

C#:

public void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadGrid1.FilterMenu.Items.Clear();
}

Please provide the complete code for further assistance.

Thanks,

Hi
When I go for a standalone application "No Child records to display" message appears & it works fine.
But as when I merge it into my application the same thing doesn't work.I am still unable to see this no record message.
I have not set any property of "NoDetailRecordsText" in my code.

Please suggest

Thanks
