FilterDescriptors.Clear() doesn't remove the text in the filter.

[Martin]

I had to add : 

foreach (var column in radgrid.Columns)
            {
                column.ColumnFilterDescriptor.FieldFilter.Clear();
            }

to clear the text .. 

question: is it supposed to work like that ?

Hello Martin,

If you mean the FilterDescripors collection of RadGridView, yes, this is expected. The filtering settings done through the UI go to the ColumnFilterDescriptor property of the column. The FilterDescriptors collection doesn't work with the FilteringControl of the columns. It is a separate API that you can use in code or with an external CollectonView.
