[Solved] How to set FilterExpression on ClientSide

[Chris Messineo]

Hi All,

On the server side I used to set the FilterExpression like:

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.FilterExpression = "some expression";

How do I achieve this on the client side?

If I use this method on the client side:
tableView.filter("ClientID", clientID, Telerik.Web.UI.GridFilterFunction.Equal);

the filter works, but when I use this method:

tableView.get_filterExpressions()

I don't get an expression, it comes back blank.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I guess this can't be done.  I have to do this because I'm using a drop down FilterTemplate.

Hi Chris,

Indeed, calling the filter method on the client as you did is the proper approach to invoke the grid filtering on the client.
Please make sure that the arguments you pass in the method are the right ones:

• first parameter is the column UniqueName
• second parameter should be the filter value
• third parameter is enumeration value, the filter function

All the best,
