RadGrid multiple filter from Javascript

[satish begum]

Im trying to filter Grid with Javascript

<telerik:radgrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="True"  AllowSorting="True" ShowGroupPanel="True" GroupingEnabled="True" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"                 OnExcelMLWorkBookCreated="RadGrid1_ExcelMLWorkBookCreated" OnGroupsChanging="RadGrid1_OnGroupsChanging"                  AllowFilteringByColumn="true">
                <PagerStyle Mode="NextPrevNumericAndAdvanced"></PagerStyle>
                <ClientSettings ReorderColumnsOnClient="false" AllowDragToGroup="True" AllowColumnsReorder="false">
                    <Selecting AllowRowSelect="false"></Selecting>
                    <Resizing AllowRowResize="False" AllowColumnResize="False" EnableRealTimeResize="True"
                        ResizeGridOnColumnResize="False"></Resizing>
                </ClientSettings>
                <GroupingSettings ShowUnGroupButton="true"></GroupingSettings>
</telerik:radgrid>

Here is Javascript

var grid  = $find('ctl00_MainContent_RadGrid1');
var master = $find('ctl00_MainContent_RadGrid1').get_masterTableView();
master.filter("Type", 'SWITCHED', "EqualTo");
master.filter("Resource", 'POWER', "EqualTo");

Only the second filter applies but not first.

Please suggest  how to apply both, and it would be better suggest n filters

Hello,

From the provided code it seems that the RadGrid is using server-side binding. In this scenario the filtering would also be done on the server. The fitler() function fires a command that applies the specified filter for a column in the grid. Because this triggers a postback only one of the filters is applied. This is expected behavior.

In order to implement the functionality you could fire a custom command and pass the information for filtering as an argument:

function filterGrid() {

    var grid = $find("<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>");

    var masterTable = grid.get_masterTableView();

    masterTable.fireCommand("CustomFilter", "Type:SWITCHED?EqualTo,Resource:POWER?EqualTo");

     

}

Then you would need to add handler for the OnItemCommand event and implement the filtering. You would need to parse the string that is passed and modify the RadGrid FilterExpression accordingly.

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName=="CustomFilter")
    {
        string filteringData = e.CommandArgument.ToString();

        // parse string and set the FilterExpression
    }
}

if you would like additional information on modifying the FilterExpression manually you would find the following article interesting:

I hope the information would prove helpful.
