How to switch the filter editor in filter control as using DateTimePicker instead of TextBox for String?

[King Chan]

Hello Telerik Staff,

As titled, for some reason I need to do filtering on a custom property which require DateTime value for filtering.

How can I tell GridViewDataColumn  's filter control to use DateTimePicker as input, so my TypeConveter can accept the DateTime value?

Note: I am not trying to create my custom field filter editor, I just want to use the default DateTime field filter editor. 

Thanks

Hello,

 You can read through this help article for an example on how to set different Editor.

I hope that this is helpful.

All the best,

I see, so I still have to do it the same way as create custom filter editor control.
I thought there would be a property that I can simply switch to another default filter editor instead of creating subclass, overriding method, and writting converter.  Thanks.
