[Solved] Insensitive accent filtering

[Jocelyn]

Hi!

I wanted to know how I can make insensitive accent filtering ?

Example:

"Men" should find "Ménard"

How can I achieve this?

Thanks.

Hi Shinu,

this thread is from 2008. Is there a better way to do this today? I have more than 20 grids in my application, so I think this solution is not the best one for me.

Thanks.

Hi Jocelyn,

I am afraid the requested functionality is not supported. It will require too much permutations to check: “Operación”, “Operacion”, “Operäcion”, "Operäción”, "Opéräción”, etc. You can implement, however, normalized filtering by using the ItemCommand event, where if the user searches for “Operäcion”, the grid to filter by “Operacion”.

Hope this helps.

All the best,

Hi,

Is it possible to use Regex in GridFiltering? So I could filter like "p[eèé]r[eèé]" and type "pere" and find "père".

Thanks!

Hello Jocelyn,

Please note that this requirement is not an in-built functionality and it is not supported . You can use the ItemCommand event to cancel the original filtering and parse the entered value:

Then build your custom filter expression:

Hope this helps.
