Remarks
The header filter allows users to filter column data. When a user clicks on the filter button, the card view displays a filter dropdown. The BeforeHeaderFilterFillItems event fires before the filter dropdown is shown and default filter items are created. The event allows you to create custom filter items.
Set the Handled property to true to prevent the HeaderFilterFillItems event from being raised. Otherwise, the event clears the item collection before filling it with default items.
Use the HeaderFilterFillItems event to add custom items to the default items.
Example
The code example below uses the ASPxCardView.BeforeHeaderFilterFillItems event to implement custom header filter items. The ASPxGridBeforeHeaderFilterFillItemsEventArgs.AddValue method is used to create filter items. The ASPxGridBeforeHeaderFilterFillItemsEventArgs.Handled property is set to true to prevent the ASPxCardView.HeaderFilterFillItems event from being raised.
Note that the event fires before default items are created. If you would like to add custom items to default items, use the ASPxCardView.HeaderFilterFillItems event.
The image below shows the result.

protected void CardView_BeforeHeaderFilterFillItems(object sender, ASPxCardViewBeforeHeaderFilterFillItemsEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Column.FieldName == "UnitPrice") {
e.AddShowAll();
int step = 20;
var prop = new OperandProperty(e.Column.FieldName);
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
var start = step * i;
var end = start + step;
e.AddValue(string.Format("from {0:c0} to {1:c0}", start, end), prop >= start & prop < end);
}
e.AddValue(string.Format(">= {0:c0}", 100), prop >= 100);
e.Handled = true;
}
