[Solved] Set Filter on Key Stroke for Inherited RadGrid

[Jon]

Hello,

I have created a custom inherited RadGrid that I am using to set certain grid functionality such as filtering on key stroke.
I am using the following code in the inherited grid to accomplish this:

        protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnInit(e);

            // filter when clicking enter
            foreach (GridColumn col in this.Columns)
            {
                col.CurrentFilterFunction = GridKnownFunction.StartsWith;
                col.AutoPostBackOnFilter = true;
            }
        }

The AutoPostBackOnFilter property is recognized, but the filters always default to "Contains". It appears that the CurrentFilterFunction property is ignored.

I would like to set the CurrentFilterFunction to "StartsWith" for each filter column for the custom RadGrid AutoPostBack filtering.
Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Jon

Hello Jon,

I suppose you are programatically creating your grid. If so, then you can add a PreRender event handler for the grid and set the desired properties in the event as shown below:

c#:

RadGrid1.PreRender += new EventHandler(RadGrid1_PreRender);

 void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadGrid Grid = (RadGrid)sender;

        foreach (GridColumn col in Grid.Columns)
        {
            col.CurrentFilterFunction = GridKnownFunction.StartsWith;
            col.AutoPostBackOnFilter = true;
        }
        Grid.MasterTableView.Rebind();
    }

Thanks

Shinu.
