[Solved] Using the filter autocomplete triggers a 'read' on the datasource

[Lior]

Hey,

I use a grid with a filter row.
Lets say I have 3 columns, each column has the default autocomplete filter.

Once the grid loads, I filter the grid by the #1 column.
As soon as I type, the grid triggers a 'read' to the datasource to fetch the data (even though it already has all the data it needs).
Once done, I can filter as much as I want locally.
When I move to the #2 and #3 filters, the same happens.

Each filter triggers the 'read' on the datasource for the first time it's being used.

Would appreciate the help to figure this out.

Hello Lior,

This behavior is expected, as the AutoComplete widgets that are part of the filter row functionality use their own dataSource. You can create a dataSource, and set it on the dataBound event, so no requests are made. Here is an example:

Hey,

Thanks, that worked great, but now the filter contains duplicate values, one for each row that value appeared in.
Is there a way around it?

Thanks!
Lior
