Hello,
You should apply the filtering criteria initially through specifying a IColumnFilterDescriptor. That way once you open the FilteringControl, you will have information on the criteria currently applied.
Please check our online documentation on Programmatic Filtering for more information on the matter. You can also find an example on the WPF Demos.
Regards,
