Is there a way to show a custom grid filter using a template?

Hi,

I am currently evaluating your product and I am very content with the results. The only issue I have is regarding the filtering functionality. My PM wants to be able to filter the grid in an excel style filter. Syncfusion and DevExpress grids support this feature out of the box. All of the examples I have seen let me filter the grid based on some range of values. This is not good for the product I am developing. I would like to totally change the way the grid filter appears. Instead of the regular filter I want some of the fields to be searched by free text and some of them to be searched by a multiple selection combo box (combo box where each item has a check box on the left). Does your API support this kind of manipulation? If so I would be happy to see an example.

I found out that in another product you support this functionality. See the ASP.NET Grid Demo to understand what I need.

Thanks

Hi Itzhak,

I am afraid that the requested functionality is not supported out of the box by Kendo Grid. The dataSource provides a filter method which you can use to filter the grid through a custom UI.
This method provide ability to filter the data by multiple rules using the build-in or custom operators.

Kind regards,
