Radgrid filter option

[Jeff Tang]

There are several filter options in the drop down list.(eg. no filter, contains) Can these options being called in server side code to filter the grid data instead of using the drop down list? Thanks.

Hi Jeff,

You can use FireCommandEvent to achieve this. Please check this link for more info:

Thanks. And one more follow-up question. The filter option "Contains" will filter the corresponding column, that is case-sensitive. Can I change it to not case-sensitive? Thanks.

Hi Jeff,

You can set GroupingSettings.CaseSensitive to false to disable this.

I have no idea how to use the FireCommandEvent. Actual the thing I want to do is after the user fill in the filter textbox the he/she will click a button ( instead of the default drop down list option) to trigger the filter action "contains"(but non case sensitive) , and there is another button for them to cancel the filter( same as "no filter" option), Would you please show me how can I do this with the FireCommandEvent? Thanks.

Hello Jeff,

I have prepared and attached a sample website to demonstrate one approach to achieve the result desired by you. Give it a try and let us know if you have further questions.
