radgridview filter

[Raymond Dalton]

How do I add a filter value to the grid view programatically?

I have tried several configurations, but I am unable to generate any result.  Here is the latest that seemed to make sense to me:

Within the load event

'adjust the filtering in the grid to defaults you might want
Me.RadGridView1.MasterGridViewInfo.TableFilteringRow.Cells("active").Value = "true"
Me.RadGridView1.MasterGridViewInfo.UpdateFiltering()

where active is the field name.

Hello Raymond,

Thank you for writing. To access the grid's filter functionality, you can use the Columns collection in the MasterGridViewTemplate:

GridViewDataColumn col = radGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.Columns["ColumnName"] as GridViewDataColumn;

col.Filter.Set("H", GridKnownFunction.StartsWith);

Should you have further questions, do not hesitate to write us back.

I would like to add where would you do this if you are autogenerating since the column does exist yet.

I was making this call in NeedDatasource....  not sure yet what event this needs to go....

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.FilterExpression = "([Color] LIKE \'%Camo%\') ";
e.Column.CurrentFilterFunction = GridKnownFunction.Contains;
e.Column.CurrentFilterValue = "Camo";

edit: Sorry just saw this is in Windows... this is for a asp.net control...

figured it out...

it goes in the prerender and then rebind the radgrid...
