I love the facility of filtering directly in the RadGrid. I've been playing around with it today and I've implemented the Google Suggest in a RadComboBox and it works very well, however I think I could achieve a similar end result in an easier way.
I would like just a text box which, on pressing enter, would perform a certain filter, most often 'contains'. I don't need the filter button, or perhaps I would like to replace it with a 'submit' style button. I think my users would just be confused by the filter drop down and I would rather choose a filter to be most appropriate for each column.
I know I can implement it with a custom grid colum but to save me a little time do you guys have any (vb if poss) examples to hand which already do this?

Thank you for the links, Shinu
What I meant was - Is there any way I could make the filter button act as a 'submit search' button based on a predefined filter, rather than bringing up the filter popup?
Its the filter popup itself that I'm trying to hide.
