using dropdownlist instead of filter

[Christian]

Helo,

I'm using RadGrid and i need to use dropdownlist instead of the filter function.

Is there any way to insert an row into the grid wich contains dropdownlists instead of the filter? The dorpdownlists should contain the values which are in the column.

thanks

Hi,

You can use the filter template to add  a dropdownlist to filter the grid instead of the normal textboxes . Check out the link below to know more on this:

You can also refer the link below (which is another way of doing it)

Thanks,

Thanks, the second link was what I needed and it works fine.

I have now a second question:
I need to have in my dropdownlist a Value "show all items". How can I bind this function (clear filter) in the event list_SelectedIndexChanged?

thanks

Hello Christian,

To see how this can be done review the implementation from the following online demos of the product:
