[Solved] google suggest style filtering

[n00b]

Hello guys

I'm new to RadGrid and to dotnet technologoy,
I tried implementing "google suggest" style filtering in a new website I've created,
I tried following your article but I didn't understand, what does it mean to extend the default GridBoundColumn?
how do I embed RadComboBox inside the filtering cell

Thanks alot.

Hi,

This is how the RadComboBox is embedded inside the filtering cell as shown in the KBarticle.

CS:

protected override void SetupFilterControls(TableCell cell)
   {
     base.SetupFilterControls(cell);
     cell.Controls.RemoveAt(0);
     RadComboBox combo = new RadComboBox();
     combo.ID = ("RadComboBox1" + this.DataField);
     combo.ShowToggleImage = false;
     combo.Skin = "WindowsXP";
     combo.EnableLoadOnDemand = true;
     combo.AutoPostBack = true;
     combo.MarkFirstMatch = true;
     combo.Height = Unit.Pixel(100);
     combo.ItemsRequested += new RadComboBoxItemsRequestedEventHandler(this.list_ItemsRequested);
     combo.SelectedIndexChanged += new Telerik.WebControls.RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventHandler(this.list_SelectedIndexChanged);
     cell.Controls.AddAt(0, combo);
     cell.Controls.RemoveAt(1);
   }

Thanks for your answer,
I attached the file "MyCustomFilteringColumn.cs" to my project,
when I try to compile it says:

Error 1 The type or namespace name 'WebControls' does not exist in the namespace 'Telerik' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Error 2 The type or namespace name 'GridBoundColumn' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Error 3 The type or namespace name 'RadComboBoxItemsRequestedEventArgs' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

What reference is missing?

Hi Mayrun,

Can you try adding the following NameSpace:

CS:

using Telerik.Web.UI;

Yes I tried that.
In fact, I replaced Telerik.WebControls with Telerik.Web.Ui in the whole page.

Now I'm presented with:

Error 1 The type '_Default' already contains a definition for 'RadGrid1'
