How to I tell what menu filter option was selected

[RJ]

I need to be able to know in NeedDataSource event what filter menu option was chosen by the user when filtering.  For example, if the user enters a phrase in the filter and then chooses "Contains", how do I know that the user chose "Contains".  I cannot find this anywhere in the forum or when I search the internet.

is there something in the FilterExpression of the MasterTableView?  If there is, parsing the string may get you what you are looking for...

Hello RJ,

You can access the filter function in ItemCommand event as shown below.
C#:

protected void grid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
 if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.FilterCommandName)
 {
   Pair filterPair = (Pair)e.CommandArgument;
   string value=filterPair.First.ToString();
 }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.
