RadGridView Filter - 'Contains' option required on numeric column

[brendan]

Hi
Is there any way that I can override the default RadGridView Filter behaviour where the 'Contains' option is not presented for numeric fields?
I need the 'Contains' option to appear on a numeric column. I know that I could change the datatype on the table but that's not really an option for me.
I am a licensed user of RadControls for WinForms Q1 2010 SP2.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,

As far as I'm aware, the integer column type cannot use a contains filter.
I am running the latest version of the controls, but I think you could do something like this.
First, change the column to be a GridViewTextBoxColumn, so that you get the Contains filter that you need. then change the editor element by following this documentation so that you always display a spin editor to ensure that you input only integer values.
Hope that helps, but let me know if you need further help

Thanks for the reply Richard.
I'll try that and let you know how I got on.

Hi brendan,

You can achieve that by creating a custom filtering predicate. I have attached a sample project that demonstrates how you can achieve this scenario. If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
