Greetings,
I created a custom filter menu that I want to use for one of my radgrid columns. It works fine, but the problem is the menu appears for all columns. I only want this menu to appear for the column "Constituents." Note that I can't use "VaryByDataType" because my columns are all strings. Is it possible to create a custom filter menu for just one column?

Hello Jon,
The grid menu object is cloned for each column for optimization issues hence its options are the same for each column. However you can show/hide some of the operations in the menu depending on the name of the column.
First server-side in the Init event you should not clear the default menu items (because they will be needed for the other column) but only add the new items you want:
Then we use the client side OnFilterMenuShowing event of the grid to hide some the unnecessary items depending on the column. You can refer to this help article for more detailed information. It demonstrates similar approach depending on the type of the column. We can easily modify the logic to rely on the column name like that:

Greetings,
I hit another snag with my code and I am stumped about how to handle it. When I select one of my custom menu options, I sometimes get a javascript error:
"Sys.ArgumentException: 'ContainProducers' is not a valid value for enum Telerik.Web.UI.GridFilterFunction. Parameter name: value"
I can click one of these menu options the first time and it works fine but then I sometimes get the javascript error on subsequent menu clicks.
The code is below, and if anyone has so me insight into my javascript problem, I would greatly appreciate it.

Update.
I found the problem. In the bottom 3 entries for the switch statement, I had a line that sets the CurrentFilterValue, e.g. ,
I removed this line from the 3 cases that used it and everything works correctly now. Just an FYI in case someone wants to do something similar.
