Showing filter state when setting in code

[Martin Herløv]

I have a filter on End Date set at start up.

If I filter manual I get the filter indicator. How can I get the same result from code?

This is the code that I am using. Called from event 

OnStateInit="@( (GridStateEventArgs<FundFirm> args) => OnFundFirmGridStateInit(args) )"

  private async Task OnFundFirmGridStateInit(GridStateEventArgs<FundFirm> args)
    {
        args.GridState.FilterDescriptors = new List<IFilterDescriptor>
        {
            new FilterDescriptor
            {
                Member = "ExcludeDate", Operator = FilterOperator.IsGreaterThanOrEqualTo,
                Value = DateTime.Today,
                MemberType = typeof(DateTime)
            }
        };
    }

Hi Martin,

Upon reviewing the code snippet you shared, it seems there is a missing CompositeFilterDescriptor wrapping the FilterDescriptor.

For your convenience, I've created an example below, demonstrating a Grid with an initial filter on a date column. You can use it as a reference.

@using Telerik.DataSource

<TelerikGrid Data="@GridData"
             Pageable="true"
             PageSize="5"
             Sortable="true"
             FilterMode="@GridFilterMode.FilterMenu"
             Groupable="true"
             OnStateInit="@( (GridStateEventArgs<Product> args) => OnGridStateInit(args) )">
    <GridColumns>
        <GridColumn Field="@nameof(Product.Name)" />
        <GridColumn Field="@nameof(Product.Released)" />
        <GridColumn Field="@nameof(Product.Discontinued)" />
    </GridColumns>
</TelerikGrid>

@code {
    private List<Product> GridData { get; set; }

    private async Task OnGridStateInit(GridStateEventArgs<Product> args)
    {
        var discontinuedColumnFilter = new CompositeFilterDescriptor()
        {
            FilterDescriptors = new FilterDescriptorCollection() {
                new FilterDescriptor()
                {
                   Member = "Released",
                   Operator = FilterOperator.IsLessThan,
                   Value = DateTime.Today,
                   MemberType = typeof(DateTime)
                }
            }
        };
        args.GridState.FilterDescriptors.Add(discontinuedColumnFilter);
    }

    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        GridData = new List<Product>();
        var rnd = new Random();

        for (int i = 1; i <= 12; i++)
        {
            GridData.Add(new Product()
            {
                Id = i,
                Name = $"Product {i}",
                Released = i == 1 ? DateTime.Now : DateTime.Now.AddDays(-rnd.Next(1, 365)).AddYears(-rnd.Next(1, 10)).Date,
                Discontinued = i % 3 == 0
            });
        }
    }

    public class Product
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public DateTime Released { get; set; }
        public bool Discontinued { get; set; }
    }
}

Feel free to reach out if you require more information or assistance. I'm here to help.

Kind Regards,

Thanks. Now it works.
