How to apply filter on dynamically created columns?

[Effat]

Hello,

I have a RadGrid which is binded with a data table. I want to apply filter on two columns only.. everything is to be done programmatically because its columns are not statically defined. Can you please suggest how can I apply filtering on two columns of such a radgrid??

Thank you,
Effat

Hello Effat,

In order to achieve this attach ColumnCreated event to your RadGrid and enable filtering for required columns. Here is the sample code that I tried. Hope this helps you.

aspx:

<telerik:RadGrid id="RadGrid1" runat="server"
            OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource" AllowFilteringByColumn="true"
            oncolumncreated="RadGrid1_ColumnCreated">
              <MasterTableView AutoGenerateColumns="True" />
</telerik:RadGrid>

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ColumnCreated(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridColumnCreatedEventArgs e)

{

  if (e.Column is GridBoundColumn)

  {

     GridBoundColumn col = (GridBoundColumn)e.Column;

     if (col.UniqueName == "ColumnUniqueName")

     {

           col.AllowFiltering = false;

     }

  }

}


Thanks,
Princy.

Thank you Princy for your prompt reply.  The solution was perfect. There is one small thing.. when I filter one column and then erase the filter keywords and try to filter another column, whatever I enter does not show up in the text box of the filter.. what could be possibly wrong?
