lots of filters, less display columns

[Phillip]

I'm trying to find an simple way of having about 20 combobox filters for a grid that only displays about 5 columns.  Our original grid just had a seperate filter section outside of the grid, but that is difficult to manage.  Is there a way to do this within radgrid?

Hello Phillip,

There are two approaches that you could follow to achieve your goal:

• The first one is to use RadFilter to filter RadGrid. Online demo implementing similar functionality could be found here.
• The other option is to use FilterTemplate of RadGrid. Demo application on this scenario could be seen here. However, if you choose the FilterTemplate option you should have column for each datafield you wish to filter by. If you do not want to show these columns you could set their Visible property to False.

Kind regards,
