Remove DateTimeColumn Filter Textbox

[Mark]

Is there any way to hide the Filter Text box in a GridDateTimeColumn and only display the Calendar Icon and Filter Icon?

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

You can set the FilterControlWidth="0px" and set the CSS class  to move the Calender towards a little right.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridDateTimeColumn DataField="OrderDate" UniqueName="OrderDate" HeaderText="OrderDate"
 CurrentFilterFunction="Contains" AutoPostBackOnFilter="true" FilterControlWidth="0px">

</telerik:GridDateTimeColumn>

CSS:

<style type="text/css">
  .RadPicker_Default .rcCalPopup
  {
      margin-left: 18px !important;
  }
</style>

Thanks,
Princy

Thanks for the reply.  Unfortunately, my entire solution is in code-behind.  I have tried setting the FilterControlWidth to 0px, but nothing has changed.  It would appear I cannot the columns.  I have implemented the google-like column filtering functionality, and I can alter those columns by adjusting the RadComboBox width, but standard GridBoundColumns and DateTime Columns I cannot alter the filter width or HeaderStyle.Width.

I have reviewed the following link and have tried both Fixed and Auto TableLayouts with no success.

Any thoughts?

Oh, I have ten of the google-style filtering custom columns, five standard GridBoundColumns and two DateTimeColumns.

Hi Mark,

Please make sure you are creating the entire RadGrid from code behind. Please create RadGrid and its columns along with the events from Page_Init event. In the ItemCreated event you can set the FilterTextBox width.

C#:

protected void Page_Init(object source, System.EventArgs e)
{
 RadGrid1 = new RadGrid();
 RadGrid1.ItemCreated += new GridItemEventHandler(RadGrid1_ItemCreated);
 this.PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(RadGrid1);
}
void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
 if (e.Item is GridFilteringItem)
 {
     GridFilteringItem filteringItem = e.Item as GridFilteringItem;
     //set dimensions for the filter textbox
     RadDatePicker box = filteringItem["DateColumnUniqueName"].Controls[0] as RadDatePicker;
     box.Width = Unit.Pixel(0);
 }
}

Thanks,
Princy

Thanks again for the reply! 

Yes, it is all code behind, but it is in a SharePoint Web part.   I believe it can create it in the Web part's OnInit method, and hopefully that will fix the problem.
