RadGrid filter menu and date picker

[tim]

Is it possible to add a filtertemplate with a datepicker inside, while also keeping the default filter button  (the one with "equal to, greather than, ...).

The user has to select a date with the datepicker, after which he can click on the other button to select "greater than, equal to, ..."

Is that possible?

Hello Tim,

To implement the desired functionality, you can:

• use GridDateTimeColumn and grid basic filtering
• use GridTemplateColumn and the approach from this demo - extend the default GridTemplateColumn class and add a date picker control to it
• use the Filter templates functionality of the grid.

I hope this helps.

The easiest way to provide a date picker is to assign a specific class to that column in the ItemDataBound() event and bind a jQuery calendar object on the client side.

Hi Umut,

The GridDateTimeColumn automatically renders a RadDatePicker or RadDateTimePicker control to help filtering on date fields. The column also provides EnableRangeFiltering property to implement a Between search scenario. You can check the live samples provided in the previous post for further demonstration.
