Get Text Value of FilterMenu

[Madelin]

How do I get the value of a FilterMenu?

Code example:

$("#filter-menu").kendoFilterMenu({
dataSource: dataSource,
field: "title",
extra: false,
});

Hi Madelin,

You could subscribe to the filterMenuOpen event of the Grid. When the filter menu gets opened, you could find the needed input element and check its value using jQuery val(). In the Dojo example linked here, when the filterMenu is opened a keyup event is bound to the inputs in it. When the user types, the value is console logged.

filterMenuOpen: function(e) {
    e.container.find('.k-filter-menu-container input').on('keyup', function(){
    		console.log($(this).val())
    })
  },

I hope this helps.
