Grid Filter Multi Checkboxes

[Barry]

I am looking at the new filtering feature of the grid - Multi Checkboxes (http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/filter-multi-checkboxes)

I can't work out how I can dynamically change the filter list based on the contents of the grid.

I currently have a drop down list in the toolbar of the grid, that users can select various pre-defined filtered datasets. I'd like the checkbox list in the filter menu to only display the available values in the grid. I don't mind doing this via an AJAX call and manually populating the data but I can't work out to get a reference to the filter menu. (I will have multiple filter menus on the grid)

Any pointers?

Thanks

Hello Barry,

You need to provide your own dataSource that the MultiCheck filtering will use to render the checkboxes. Check the example in the docs here:

http://dojo.telerik.com/

If you want use can access the current dataSource and set its data dynamically like this:

http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/data/datasource#methods-data

$("#grid").data("kendoGrid").thead.find("th:eq(0)").data("kendoFilterMultiCheck").checkSource.data([{ country: "UK"}])
