Set Default Column Filter in Code

[Doug Hamilton]

I'm binding a grid to a collection and adding only the columns I wish the user to see from that collection in code.  I want to set the default filter for these columns to "Starts With".  I see that there is a Filter.Function property if I bring up the the column collection through the gridview control properties but how do I get at it to set in code? 

I would have assumed that I could have said something like:

MyGridView.Columns("EmployeeName").Filter...

but Filter isn't available there.

Sorry if the answer to this is obvious but I've only just begun learning to use the Telerik controls.

Thanks!

I figured it out.  For anyone else who may have the same question, the answer was:

For Each col As GridViewDataColumn In Me.MyGridView.Columns

    col.Filter.Function = GridKnownFunction.StartsWith
