How to set numeric fields filter operator default to "equal to"

[Anu]

In gridview i am displaying some string fields and few numeric fields. The filter operator for string fields is automatically set to "Contains", however the numeric fields are left with "no filter". Is there a way to make the default filter for numberic fields to "equal to" without setting it on each column definition (as shown in the code below)?

GridViewTextBoxColumn colNumericField = new GridViewTextBoxColumn("NumericField");
                   colNumericField .Width = 100;
                   colNumericField .HeaderText = "Loc #";
                   colNumericField .ReadOnly = true;
                   colNumericField .FilterDescriptor = new Telerik.WinControls.Data.FilterDescriptor(null, Telerik.WinControls.Data.FilterOperator.IsEqualTo, null);
                   radGV1.MasterTemplate.Columns.Add(colNumericField );

Thanks

Hi Anu,

Thank you for writing.

The FilterDescriptor object has a property called IsFilterEditor, which determines whether the Operator of this descriptor will be the default one for the column.

More information regarding FilterDescriptors can be found here: http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/gridview-filtering-setting-filters-programmatically-simple-descriptors.html.

I hope that the provided information addresses your question. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Kind regards,
