I am new to the WinForms components and here is what I would like to be able to do. Not sure if this functionality is built in or if I will need to use a combination of Telerik controls so I figured it would be faster to ask. :)

I want to be able to fill a listview... then have a way to type in criteria and have it filter the listview accordingly. I want to be able to use checkboxes so once I have the listview filtered I can select certain items using the checkboxes.

Then I want to be able to remove the criteria and the listview restores all the items while retaining the items with checks in the checkboxes. Then i'll enter new criteria, which filters the list, i select more items via the checkboxes, remove the criteria, selected items are retained and so on...

Please let me know how to do this. :)

Hello Michael,

Thank you for your question.

Yes, this can be easily achieved using RadListView. It supports built-in checkboxes and filtering via filter descriptors. Below is a sample code that implements the mentioned requirements. It assumes using a RadListView and a RadTextBox.

public partial class Form30 : Form

{

    public Form30()

    {

        InitializeComponent();

        this.radListView1.ShowCheckBoxes = true;

    }

    private void radTextBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        this.radListView1.FilterDescriptors.Clear();

        if (this.radTextBox1.Text.Length > 0)

        {

            this.radListView1.FilterDescriptors.Add(new FilterDescriptor("Value", FilterOperator.Contains, this.radTextBox1.Text));

            this.radListView1.EnableFiltering = true;

        }

        else

        {

            this.radListView1.EnableFiltering = false;

        }

    }

}

More information about RadListView can be found in its corresponding help section.

I hope this was useful. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need further assistance.

All the best,

Hi,

What if I wan to use multiple filter criteria?

For Example: Lets say I have two List Views with ShowCheckBoxes set to True
.
ListView1 with items Type1, Type 2 Type 3
And ListView2 with Items T11, T12, T13, T21,T22, T23, T31. T32,T33

When I Select Type1 in ListView1, then I need to Show the items T11, T12, T13 only in ListView2
Similerly when I select Type2 then T21,T22, T23 needs to be shown and same as the case for Type3

I'm able achieve this behavior by adding the Filter.

Now the it is required to show T11, T12, T13, T21,T22, T23 items When both Type1 and Type2 are selected.

I Tried to achieve this by adding multiple FilterDescriptors but of no use.

Is this feature supported by ListView filtering? If yes, please explain me how to achieve.

Thanks.

Hi RR,

You can use the CompositeFilterDescriptor to achieve this. The following code snippet demonstrates this:

private void radListView1_ItemCheckedChanged(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.ListViewItemEventArgs e)

{

    CompositeFilterDescriptor des = new CompositeFilterDescriptor();

    des.LogicalOperator = FilterLogicalOperator.Or;

    if (this.radListView1.Items[0].CheckState == ToggleState.On)

    {

        des.FilterDescriptors.Add(new FilterDescriptor("Text", FilterOperator.StartsWith, "T1"));

    }

    if (this.radListView1.Items[1].CheckState == ToggleState.On)

    {

        des.FilterDescriptors.Add(new FilterDescriptor("Text", FilterOperator.StartsWith, "T2"));

    }

    if (this.radListView1.Items[2].CheckState == ToggleState.On)

    {

        des.FilterDescriptors.Add(new FilterDescriptor("Text", FilterOperator.StartsWith, "T3"));

    }



    this.radListView2.FilterDescriptors.Clear();

    this.radListView2.FilterDescriptors.Add(des);

}

Do not hesitate to contact us, if you have any additional questions.
