I have figured out how to hide the filter textbox for a column by doing the following:

    
            If TypeOf e.Item Is GridFilteringItem Then 
        
                        Dim filteringItem As GridFilteringItem = CType(e.Item, GridFilteringItem) 
        
                        'set dimensions for the filter textbox 
        
                        Dim box As TextBox = CType(filteringItem("CheckBoxTemplateColumn").Controls(0), TextBox) 
        
                        box.Visible = False

But...

1. how do I hide the filter icon that is next to each text box?

2. how can I add my own custom text in place of it if I want to?

3. how can I hide the filter options I do not want? for instance on a numeric column named "points" I only want "GreaterThan" and GreaterThanEqualTo".

Thanks!

Hello Shawn,

You can try out the following code to hide the filtericon and display a text instead for a column:
vb:

    
            Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(sender As Object, e As GridItemEventArgs) 
        
                If TypeOf e.Item Is GridFilteringItem Then 
        
                    Dim filter As GridFilteringItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridFilteringItem) 
        
                    (DirectCast(filter("Name").Controls(1), Button)).Visible = False 
        
                    Dim lbl As New Label() 
        
                    lbl.ID = "Label1" 
        
                    lbl.Text = "filter" 
        
                    filter("Name").Controls.AddAt(1, lbl) 
        
                End If 
        
            End Sub

Also refer to the following help document which explains on how to minimize the filter options:

Hi Premnath,

Check out the following code to hide the filter textbox for a column in the grid, when the grid in the edit mode:

c#:

                    protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)         
                {         
                    if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)         
                    {         
                        GridFilteringItem filter = (GridFilteringItem)RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.FilteringItem)[0];         
                        ((TextBox)filter["ColumnUniqueName"].Controls[0]).Visible = false;         
                               
                    }          
                }         

Thanks

Shinu.
