RadGridView - make Filtering and sorting to work reverse.

[Naresh]

Hi All,

I am using the RadGridView and added custom filter's successfully, the default sort functionality works when user hits on the header column and filter works when cuser clicks on filter icon. how can i make filter popup to be opened when i click on header column instead of the filter icon and how can i make the default filter to work as sorting.

Hello Naresh,

In order to open the filtering control when the user clicks the column header, you can subscribe to the Sorting event of the control. Within the event handler, you can adopt the approach demonstrated in this help article. You need to also cancel the event, so that the column is not being sorted through the built-in mechanism.

As to your requirement to sort the items when the user clicks the filtering funnel, the event you need to handle is FilterOperatorsLoading. When it is raised, you can set the IsOpened property of the PopUp to false and programmatically sort the items of RadGridView, as demonstrated in this help topic.

Hope this helps.
