Filtering On an Invisible Column

[Tony]

Just wondering if this is possible. I haven't been able to get it to work so far.

Also is it possible to hide the Filter row while still leaving filtering enabled, as i want to do all filtering programmatically.

Thank You

Hi Tony,

There was a malfunction in the filters which caused the grid to discard filters applied on hidden rows. The issue is fixed in the 2007 Q2 release, which will be out next week.

I'm still trying to filter on Hidden Columns, and its still not working in the new version.

Can you confirm that this got fixed please.

Thank you

Hi Tony,

Could you, please, send us a simple example with your scenario so that we can test it locally? We are not able to reproduce this locally, so we would like to research your case. You can send us your project in a formal support ticket.

Sorry for the extra loop and thank you in advance.

I'm experiencing the same problem with Q3 2007 SP1.  Has the issue been resolved?

I'm applying the filter as follows:

GridViewDataColumn col = (gridView.Columns["Status"] as GridViewDataColumn);
col.Filter.Set(status.ToString(), GridKnownFunction.EqualTo);
gridView.MasterGridViewInfo.UpdateFiltering();

Everything works as expected if the Status column is visible.  Filter seems to be ignored if not visible.

Hi Kevin,

I'm sorry for the delayed answer.

Disabling filtering on hidden columns is considered a feature, as there is a single filter rule, used both by developers and by end users (through the filtering row). Our UX team mentioned that if someone filters by a column, then hides it, there is no way for him/her to remove the filtering in order to see all records.

That is why in the new RadGridView, we introduced an advanced filtering scheme. It allows the usage of multiple filters, enabling the developer to set filters that are not visible to the end user. We encourage you to try the beta version of the new RadGridView. It includes many other fixes and has improved performance.

If you have any additional questions, please contact us.
