Overridding Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.FilteringControl's behavior

[Rashad Rivera]

Hello All,

   I like the way the default control in RadGridView works - AKA Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.FilteringControl.  However, I want to change one behavior; the application of the filter.  Basicly, I want to intercept the filter specified by the user and interpret it myself.  This way I can customize the behavior and keep the look and feel.  Can anyone advise me how to do this?

Hello Rashad Rivera,

I am not sure what do you mean by interpretting the filtering yourself, but you can attach to the Filtering event and read the filtering information. But if you cancel this event -- you will lose the UI.

The cleaner approach would be to develop your own custom filtering control where you will have absolute power over what is going on and how is filtering performed.

It would be much better to inherit from your control because yours has a better starting point.  Unless this control is sealed, in which I have no choice but to write my own.
