Filter Methods not working

[rik butcher]

i have a rad Filter like below. i want to switch out the Display Name based on a condition.

<

 

 

telerik:RadFilter ID="WorkOrdersRadFilter" runat="server" Skin="WebBlue" ShowApplyButton="true"

 

 

 

OnApplyExpressions="WorkOrdersRadFilter_Apply" ApplyButtonText="Filter Work Orders"

 

 

 

OnPreRender="RadFilter_PreRender" OnFieldEditorCreating="RadFilter_FieldEditorCreating"

 

 

 

 

 

OnFieldEditorCreated

 

 

="RadFilter_FieldEditorCreated"

 

 

>
<FieldEditors>

 

 

 

<telerik:RadFilterTextFieldEditor FieldName="WORKORDERNUMBER" DisplayName="Work Order#"

 

 

 

DataType="System.String" />

 

 

 

 

<

 

 

goldcustom:RadFilterComboBoxEditor FieldName="WOTYPENAME" DisplayName="WO Type"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DataTextField="WOTYPENAME" DataSourceID="WorkOrderTypeFilterODS" DataType="System.String"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ComboBoxSkin="WebBlue" />

 

 

 

 

<

 

 

telerik:RadFilterTextFieldEditor FieldName="TRACKINGNUMBER" DisplayName="Tracking#"

 

 

 

DataType="System.String" />

 

 

 

<telerik:RadFilterTextFieldEditor FieldName="KEYREFERENCE" DisplayName="Key Ref"

 

 

 

DataType="System.String" />

 

</FieldEditors>

 

 

 

</telerik:RadFilter>
i tried what was suggested in one of the tutorials, but it never seems to fire this event.i also tried OnFieldEditorCreating which simply is used to invoke the class for radComboBoxes and that never fires either unless of course it's a radComboBox.
i assume that i want to do this when i click the "Add Expression" button on the RadFilter. is there some way i can switch out the DisplayName?? i've been thru every tutorial i can find, but nothing really works.
can i get some direct help? i'm a registered developer, do you guys need any info from me?
thanks
rik


Want to run something like this to switch out the Display name depending on a condition:

 

protected void RadFilter_FieldEditorCreated(object sender, RadFilterFieldEditorCreatedEventArgs e)

{

    if (e.Editor.FieldName == "WORKORDERNUMBER")

    {

        e.Editor.DisplayName = "My custom text";

    }

}

Hello Rik,

The OnFieldEditorCreating and OnFieldEditorCreated events are raised for custom field editors only.
In order to implement the desired functionality, I recommend that find the corresponding editor in the FieldEditors collection and set its display name:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    (RadFilter1.FieldEditors[1] as RadFilterTextFieldEditor).DisplayName = "DisplayName";
}

I hope this helps.
