Hello Andres,

You can access the filter text box by accessing the Filter Item. Here is a sample code to access the filter item from external button click.
C#:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
      GridFilteringItem filteringItem = (GridFilteringItem)grdEmail.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.FilteringItem)[0];
      TextBox text=filteringItem["LastName"].Controls[0] as TextBox;
      Response.Write(text.Text);
   }

Thanks,
Shinu.
