Filter on a GridButtonColumn

[sitefinitysteve]

I want to have the filtering enabled on a GridButtonColumn...filtering based on the text of the LinkButton...is that do able?

Hello Steve,

I suggest you use TemplateColumn instead.

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="CategoryName" UniqueName="MyTemplateColumn"
    HeaderText="Template">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("CategoryName") %>' />
    </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Let us know whether this approach suits your scenario.

Hello Steve,

Another option is to use the new feature of the control, allowing for a filter template.
I hope this helps.

Quick Q, how do I tell if I have the SP2 version?

I don't see the filter template in the help file that comes with the install

Hello Steve,

You can download the latest version of the controls from your account, to take advantage of the filter template.

Hi Steve,

As a quick follow-up on the previous e-mail, I wanted to add that the feature is available in the latest internal build, which is accessible from your account, as demonstrated in the screenshot attached to this message.
I hope this helps.
