TableFilteringRow CheckBox

[Dominik]

Hi,

I can set filltering for GridViewTextBoxColumn:

dg.MasterView.TableFilteringRow.Cells[1].Value = "test";

Unfortunately this does not work similarly for GridViewCheckBoxColumn:

dg.MasterView.TableFilteringRow.Cells[2].Value = true;

Version: 2013.1.321.40

Hi Dominik,

Thank you for writing.

The correct way to set filter is by creating FilterDescriptor, not by directly setting the cell value. Consider the following example:

FilterDescriptor filter = new FilterDescriptor();
filter.PropertyName = "column2";
filter.Operator = FilterOperator.IsEqualTo;
filter.Value = true;
filter.IsFilterEditor = true;
this.radGridView1.FilterDescriptors.Add(filter);

You can read more about FilterDescriptor in our online documentation: http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/gridview-filtering-setting-filters-programmatically-simple-descriptors.html

I hope this helps.

The solution works fine but I had some problems with it.
I was convinced that PropertyName = FieldName.
This information I found in an example given: FilterDescriptor - implements filtering property (field) name. <- column1.FieldName?
For this reason, when an earlier attempt to use this approach has not got any results.
It turns out that the PropertyName = Name of column.

// not this
column1.FieldName = "sqlcol1";

//or this
column1.HeaderText = "header test";

//but this one
column1.Name = "column1";

I think PropertyName is a little confusing, at least for me.
