Reconstruct FilterExpression from existing FilterColumns

[Lenny_shp]

My scenerio:
User has entered some filter in columns 1 and 2.
The app has an ItemCommand that is intended to add additional filters.

Is there a way to get the constructed FilterExpression for specified columns so I append my own filterexpression?
If I simply append with existing item, the next time the button is clicked it retains the original filter value.
I only need to append the filter to the filterexpression that is on the columns user has entered.

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.FilterExpression = "((" + RadGrid1.MasterTableView.FilterExpression + ") AND ([myfilterfield] = 'xyz')) "

I've reviewed this, is the filterpair accessible for each filtercolumn?    Any better approach than manually reconstruct each filterpair for FilterExpression?

Hi Lenny,

You can basically manually construct and alter the filter expression. The following example shows one similar implementation.
I hope this gets you started properly.

All the best,
