[Solved] Grid MVVM and FilerDescriptors

[Steve]

I need to be able to dyamically change the FilterDescriptors collection in a RadGridView from my View Model.  I don't see any way to bind to FilterDescriptors or get access to the collection from my View Model.  I could add all of the possible filters in the xaml but I don't see a way to disable them and it doesn't make since to have to change all that aren't active to alway to true.

I'm sure this isn't as hard as I'm making it.

Maybe this is the wrong approach, I have a page with several drop down list that when selected cause the grid to filter the given column with the data selected in the drop down- simple enough but causing me stress...

Help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve Hatch

One more thing, I cannot use the default column filtering (IsFilterable="True") because most of the columns are GridViewComboBoxColumns and the default filtering displays the key value for the column, not the display value.  Hence, when the user clicks the filter icon they get a list 1,2,3,4,5, etc instead of the display equivalint.


Thanks again,

Hello,

 You can use QueryableCollectionView in your view model to achieve this. The grid will automatically respect any filter, sort, group, etc. modification if bound to QueryableCollectionView.
