filtering event for grid

[Alex]

Hi

I very often use the filtering event for e.g. AutoComplete controls. The event lets me manipulate the filter before the DataSource sends the request.
When the user input consist of two words, I can configure the filter to perform a search in two different fields etc.

Now I would like to add some sort of pre-filter to a kendo grid. I know well how to create complex filters and I can add the pre-filter data separately to the data sent by the DataSource. But I would like to be able to directly manipulate the filter used by the Grid/DataSource just as I do it with AutoCompletes.

Is there a way to 'inject' filter rules directly into the filter used by the grid just as it is possible with other controls?

Regards

Alex

Problem solved by manipulating the filter object otherwise.

Thanks and kind regards
