re-order filter combo

[Anne Lyon]

Hi,

In the column Filter dialog: Is it possible to re-order the list in the "Show rows with value that"-combo-box so that the "Contains" option is listed first? This is the option the users will most often use, and it would be great if this option could always be default instead of the "is equal to". How can I achieve this?

Hi Anne,

To change the order of the Filtering operators you could subscribe to the FilterOperatorsLoading event of RadGridView. In the event arguments there is a property called AvailableOperators. You could then order the AvailableOperators collection.  
 
Please let me know how this works for you.

All the best,

Thanks, that works well if I just want to remove operators. But e.AvailableOperators is a RemoveOnly collection. In order to re-order I have to remove an item from the wrong place and insert the item in the right place? But Insert is not allowed.Or is there a smarter method to re-order these items?    :-)

Update: I did find that setting DefaultOperator1 and 2 at least selects my preferred opertator, but still, it would be nice if it actually would be first in the drop-down list and not 5th...

Hello,

 Indeed, you are right, this would not be possible. I apologize for misleading you.
