Filtering on Objects

[Stefan]

I am using the standard filtering built into the GridView Control. One of the view's colums is bound to an object instead of a string.  Inside the colums the objects show correctly (because the DisplayMemberPath="Name" is properly set).

1) When the I click the filter button for that column the object types are displayed instead of the object names.
2) The avaiable options for filtering is also less than for the normal text column.  Only "Is equal to" and "Is not equal to" shows.

Must my objects implement a specific interface to play correctly with the DataGrid's filtering? Must must be done to show all the filtering options?

Thanks

Hello Stefan,

When you bind a column to a object type the grid cannot infer the correct type and as a consequence the filtering does now work correctly. What you can do is to manually set the DataType property of the respective column and all should be well.
