Hide the Filter Button

Updated on Sep 15, 2025

When in Popup filtering mode, you can set GridViewColumn.ShowFilterButton to False if you want to hide the Filter button. This is useful when you are in immediate filtering mode, i.e. GridViewColumn.IsFilteringDeferred is False.

Example 1: Hide filter button in XAML

XAML

    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn ShowFilterButton="False" IsFilteringDeferred="False" />

Example 2: Hide filter button in code-behind

C#

    private void Grid_AutoGeneratingColumn(object sender, GridViewAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.ItemPropertyInfo.PropertyType == typeof(string))
        {
            e.Column.IsFilteringDeferred = false;
            e.Column.ShowFilterButton = false;
        }
    };

Example 2: Hide filter button in code-behind

VB

    Private Sub Grid_AutoGeneratingColumn(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs)
		If e.ItemPropertyInfo.PropertyType Is GetType(String) Then
			e.Column.IsFilteringDeferred = False
			e.Column.ShowFilterButton = False
		End If
    End Sub

Figure 1 and Figure 2 demonstrate the two setups.
