Filter icon not appearing

[Kristjan Einarsson]

Hi,
I want to use the built in filters for the grid, but the icon does not appear

This is my XAML code

<telerik:RadTreeListView x:Name="grid" Grid.Row="2" AutoGenerateColumns="False" RowLoaded="grid_RowLoaded" IsFilteringAllowed="True"
                                 RowIsExpandedChanged="grid_RowIsExpandedChanged" RowIsExpandedChanging="grid_RowIsExpandedChanging" SelectionChanged="grid_SelectionChanged" CellEditEnded="grid_CellEditEnded">
            <telerik:RadTreeListView.ChildTableDefinitions>
                <telerik:TreeListViewTableDefinition ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Children}" />
            </telerik:RadTreeListView.ChildTableDefinitions>
        </telerik:RadTreeListView>

And I create the Columns in code behind, I are there any properties I need to enable ?
When I have tried to set the IsFilterable = true in the code behind where I create the columns.

And I am using Telerik Dll's V.2012.1.326.40

Thank you
Kristján

Hello,

Basically, the column will not have filtering option if the type of the property that is bound to this column is not known.  Would you please share more details on what your data is?

The data is dynamic and I don't know how may columns there will be.

But this is the ItemsSource is a list of this object ->

public class DataClass
    {
        public List<Mycolumns> Values { get; set; }
        public List<DataClass> Children { get; set; }
        public DataClass Parent { get; set; }
        public bool HasChildren { get; set; }
        public int LevelID { get; set; }

        public DataClass()
        {
            Values   = new List<Mycolumns>();
            Children = new List<DataClass>();
        }

        public DataClass(DataClass parent)
        {
            Values   = new List<Mycolumns>();
            Children = new List<DataClass>();
            Parent   = parent;
        }
    }

This is the Mycolumns object

public class Mycolumns
    {
        public object ColName { get; set; }
        public object Value { get; set; }
        public Type DataType { get; set; }
    }

And here is how I create the columns

List<DataClass> data = dhelper.getDataForLevel(0, "", "");

                for (int i = 0; i < data.First().Values.Count; i++)

                {

                    grid.Columns.Add(createColumn("Values[" + i + "].Value", data.First().Values[i].ColName.ToString(), data.First().Values[i].DataType));

                }

                grid.ItemsSource = data;

//and this is the createColumn method
private GridViewDataColumn createColumn(string bindingText, string caption, Type dataType, string tag = "", string toolTip = "")
        {
            GridViewDataColumn col = new GridViewDataColumn();
            col.HeaderTextAlignment = TextAlignment.Right;
            if (dataType == typeof(double))
            {
                col.DataFormatString = "{0:N0}";
            }
            else if(dataType == typeof(DateTime))
            {
                col.DataFormatString = "{0:d}";
            }

            col.TextAlignment = TextAlignment.Right;
            col.Header = caption;
            col.Tag = tag;

            col.IsReadOnly = (!caption.Equals("UnitQtyChg")) ? true : false;
            col.DataMemberBinding = new Binding(bindingText) { Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay };

      return col;
        }

Hope this clears anything up

Best regards
kristján

Hi Kristján,

 When the column filters on a certain property, this property has to be filterable. When the property is of type object, then the RadGridView does not know how to filter.

Probably this blog post can help you implement your filtering. 

All the best,

Thank you, I got this working by using col.DataType = myDataType;
Works like a charm
