[Solved] GridView filter header not showing

[Gio]

Hi, 

This attribute setting telerikGridViewFilter:CustomFilterRow.IsEnabled="True" does not have any effect in my grid view. I'm using the GridView.dll from the Samples. Did I miss something

thanks

Hi Gio,

May you take another look on our sample and check if you have created all the necessary elements ?
 

All the best,

I don't know what was going on there but the next time I built the solution, the filters were up. So I guess this one is closed.
My object though is still not reached. Is it possible to set only one filter predicate, say only "Contains" for string search. What I wanted to achieve here something like the search-as-you-type feature.

Hello Gio,

If you want to add a StartsWith operator, you may define it in the ApplicableFilterOperators property in the ColumnFilterCell:

protected virtual IEnumerable<FilterOperator> ApplicableFilterOperators
{
    get
    {
    return new FilterOperator[]
  {
      FilterOperator.IsLessThan,
         FilterOperator.StartsWith,
           FilterOperator.IsLessThanOrEqualTo,
           FilterOperator.IsEqualTo,
           FilterOperator.IsNotEqualTo,
           FilterOperator.IsGreaterThanOrEqualTo,
           FilterOperator.IsGreaterThan
   };
    }
}

  
Consequently, you may remove all those that you do not need. 
Another possible solution may be to use the approach demonstrated in this blog post.

Best wishes,
