ASPxTitleIndex.SoftFiltering Property

Gets or sets whether non-strict filtering is enabled within the ASPxTitleIndex.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Web

Declaration

C#

[DefaultValue(false)]
public bool SoftFiltering { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DefaultValue(False)>
Public Property SoftFiltering As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	false	true if non-strict filtering is enabled; otherwise, false.

Remarks

A filtering functionality within the ASPxTitleIndex is realized by using a specific filter box. A string typed within the filter box editor is automatically searched at the beginning of a data item‘s captions. To implement searching at any place in the data item caption, you can use a specific wildcard symbol “*”, which should be added before the search string. Enable the SoftFiltering property to automatically add wildcard symbols to the searched string, and enable non-strict filtering.

Example

This example demonstrates how to use soft filtering (the ASPxTitleIndex.SoftFiltering property) for the ASPxTitleIndex control.

<dxti:ASPxTitleIndex ID="ASPxTitleIndex1" runat="server" 
DataSourceID="XmlDataSource1" SoftFiltering="True">

      <FilterBox AutoFocus="True" Delay="500" HorizontalPosition="Left" />
      <Columns>
         <dxti:Column>
         </dxti:Column>
         <dxti:Column>
         </dxti:Column>
         <dxti:Column>
         </dxti:Column>
      </Columns>
</dxti:ASPxTitleIndex>
