RadGrid Filter on header

[David]

Is there a way to remove the Filter Row and set it into the Column Header?

setting the show header to false, it hides both header and filter.

I've tried removing the filter and adding a custom one, but it doesn't work the same way, anyone has a solution?

i just don't want to have 2 rows on the header (header and filter)

Hi,

One suggestion is that you can hide header and add a label to show the header text. Here is the sample code.
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
 if (e.Item is GridHeaderItem)
 {
   GridHeaderItem header = (GridHeaderItem)e.Item;
   header.Display = false;
 }
 if (e.Item is GridFilteringItem)
 {
  foreach (GridColumn col in RadGrid1.Columns)
  {
    GridFilteringItem fitem = (GridFilteringItem)e.Item;
    Label lbl = new Label();
    lbl.Text = col.HeaderText;
    lbl.CssClass = "lblclass";
    fitem[col.UniqueName].Controls.Add(lbl);
  }
 }
}

CSS:

<style type="text/css">
    .lblclass
    {
       margin-left:-100px;
    }
    </style>

Thanks,
Shinu.

But if I hide the header, the filter hides too, and I dont want that.

I want to keep the default filter, just hiding the Header

Hi,

I was able to replicate the issue when i set 'ShowHeader' to False. You  can hide the Header and show the filter row using the above mentioned code.

Thanks,

It's solved now, I used a very similar approach to this
