kendoui grid header filtering like devexpress filtering (and like excel)

[nathan]

hi, we're evaluating the MVC kendoUI against devexpress mvc components and we're leaning towards the kendoUI set, apart from one thing...

The filtering of data in deveexpress example here is a drop down with checkboxes for which items to filter on per column:
http://mvc.devexpress.com/GridView/Filtering

I can't see that this is possible currently with kendoUI? you have the option to filter outside of the table here:
http://demos.kendoui.com/web/grid/toolbar-template.html

but really we need this in the column headers, as checkboxes (like excel)

Any pointers? is there a hack to do this, or plans to implement? It's frustrating as its the one thing stopping us jumping in head first!

thanks

Hi Nathan,
Did you find any solution for this problem ? I also have to implement 'devex like filtering' using KendoUI.

Please give me a shout, when you will have any workaround.

Cheers,

I get column-oriented filtering like so:

$("#gridTeam").kendoGrid({

    columns: [

        { "field": "empLastName", "title": "Last", "filterable": true, "width": "25%" },

        { "field": "empFirstName", "title": "First", "filterable": true, "width": "25%" },

        { "field": "empRole", "title": "Role", "filterable": true, "width": "25%" },

        { "field": "hours", "title": "Hours", "filterable": true, "width": "25%" }

    ],

    dataSource: dataTeam,

    sortable: {

        mode: "multiple",

        allowUnsort: true

    },

    filterable: true,

    columnMenu: true

});

"columnMenu: true" enables the drop-down menu on the column header, and "filterable: true" enables filtering. It's not "checkbox-based", but it is functional. The columnMenu also allows for selectively displaying and hiding columns via checkboxes.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, since I've never used DevEx, but I hope this is at least helpful. :)

I'm not sure why this thread has died off, but this feature would be huge.  I have been waiting for telerik to add this to all their grid controls and sadly they have not done yet.  DevExpress is really starting to pull me in because of this ONE feature.  Please telerik add this feature.

We needed this feature badly.  Hopefully, it will be added as a standard feature.  I implemented a solution that involved creating a custom widget.  It seems to be working.  Getting the custom widget to work in conjunction with the built-in filtering mechanism was tricky.  You can see the implementation here:

Hi Victor I am trying to bind to grid events such as when a user adds, edits, changes, or deletes a row but can't get it to work using your checkbox filter. How would you bind the checkbox list to update on these events?
