[Solved] Filter on Enter Key

[rdochert]

this topic has been kicked around the asp.net forum for some time in various different guises. now that i am moving all of my grid's to prometheus - mostly with ajax - i find that adding text to a filter box and pressing the enter key no longer works. i found a how to in the help file but it only referred to adding a custom filter button to the grid. i want to so what, it seems to me, is the most basic and intuitive approach to filtering that any user would expect - type in some text and hit enter.

hope you can help.

ok - i found that by removing 

AutoPostBackOnFilter="True"

i had stopped the filter on enter key from working. i wanted to remove that as i did not want the filter to be applied if the user tabbed or clicked outside the filter box. i think filter on enter press is a little more fundamental than it is given credit for. having to set up this option on every column seems like a poor implementation of this behaviour.
