Filtering on GridButton column

[Ananthalvan]

Hi,
  In my radgrid, I need to use a GridButton column with button type as LinkButton. I enabled filtering with help of http://www.telerik.com/community/code-library/aspnet-ajax/grid/filtering-and-sorting-for-gridbuttoncolumn.aspx. This works fine with the help of the filter icon. My requirement is to hide the filter icon and have the default filtering set and apply filter.

Grid definition:

<custom:GridButtonColumnWithFilteringSorting HeaderText="" UniqueName="LastName"  DataTextFormatString="{0}" 
SortExpression="LastName" DataTextField="LastName" DataField="LastName" ItemStyle-CssClass="myLink"
CommandName="DisplayMember" HeaderButtonType="LinkButton" ButtonType="LinkButton"
CurrentFilterFunction="StartsWith"  AutoPostBackOnFilter="true"  ShowFilterIcon="false"  />

When I type a filter text and hit ENTER key, I don't see postback happening thereby triggering the filter. Am I missing something here? How do I trigger filter from here?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I see that you are using the CurrentFilterFunction and AutoPostBack properties of the button column. Have you implemented them?

Additionally, could you post your whole GridButtonColumnWithFilteringSorting implementation and RadGrid declaration along with the respective event handlers?

Thus all the people who want to help you will have better understanding of your project.

Hello Rajan,

There are several ways you can achieve this requirement. I am sending a sample RadGrid web site to demonstrate various way of declaring link columns.

Hope this helps. If you have different requirements or further instructions, please elaborate on your specific scenario and send us sample screenshots or video demonstrating the desired behavior.
