Filter Headings - 3 part Question

[Shawn]

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.
