Unable to Filter on CHAR column

[John]

I have a RadGrid bound to a collection, the collection has integer, strings and char datatypes.  I can group by all these nor problem and I can filter with the integer and strings however using the CHAR and equalto does not work.

I have one column that contains either a V or an O (for Vacant or Occupied) when I attempt to filter by V and EqualTo I still get both V and O items, I tried using O and greater then to just get the V no luck still get them all.  However I can drag the column to the group by bar and it groups the items correctly.

(I have set the datatype for the column to System.Char)

Hi John,

Unfortunately you are right - we have fixed this immediately and the fix will be included in the upcoming Q1 2008 release.

Thanks for the quick reply.  I am still demoing this to folks at my new place of employment and hope that things like this, identifing and fixing product quickly helps me convince them to use your controls.

Unfortunately this problem  is back again: I use Q1 2011 Winforms RadGridVew and experience the problem described above.
Please advice!
TIA, Paul

Hi Paul,

When we redesigned the RadGridView in Q2 2010, we missed to add some operators in the filter context menu. Nevertheless, you can perform filtering programmatically by adding instance of FilterDescriptor class:

FilterDescriptor descriptor = new FilterDescriptor("Symbol", FilterOperator.IsEqualTo, "A");
this.radGridView1.FilterDescriptors.Add(descriptor);

We will address the missing filter operator in the next major release (Q2 2011).
