How can I turn on the filtering funnel icon?

[Jerry Kurata]

Hi,

I have a custom filter dialog through which the user enters filter criteria.  Based on this criteria I perform my own filtering of the underlying itemsource for the grid.  I would like to turn on the funnel icon for the columns the user has used to filter the data.  Can someone show how I can do this?

Thanks,

Jerry

Hello Jerry Kurata,

 You need to add a ColumnFilterDescriptor for each column to the RadGridView.

Yavor,

So the ColumnFilteringDescriptor is required even if I am doing the filtering (via Linq) in other parts of my code?  If so, I assume that the descriptor would be initialized, but none of the .FieldFilter values would be set.  Is that correct?

Thanks,

Hi Jerry Kurata,

 I apologize for misunderstanding your question. If you already apply filtering externally, you only need to handle the CellLoaded event like so:

void gridView_CellLoaded(object sender, CellEventArgs e)
{
    var cell = e.Cell as GridViewHeaderCell;
    if (cell != null && cell.Column.UniqueName == "UnitPrice")
    {
        if (cell.DataColumn.FilteringControl == null)
        {
            cell.DataColumn.FilteringControl = new FilteringControl();
        }

        this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() => cell.DataColumn.FilteringControl.IsActive = true));
    }
}
