GridViewDataColumnSettings.AllowAutoFilter Property

Gets or sets whether end-users can filter data by the column’s values.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v24.2.dll

Declaration

[DefaultValue(DefaultBoolean.Default)]
public DefaultBoolean AllowAutoFilter { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DefaultValue(DefaultBoolean.Default)>
Public Property AllowAutoFilter As DefaultBoolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	Default	One of the enumeration values.

Available values:

Name	Description	Return Value
True	The value is true.	0
False	The value is false.	1
Default	The value is specified by a global option or a higher-level object.	2

Property Paths

You can access this nested property as listed below:

Object Type	Path to AllowAutoFilter
GridViewDataColumn	.Settings .AllowAutoFilter

Remarks

End-users can filter data on the fly by typing text directly into the auto filter row. When an end-user types the text within the row a filter condition is automatically created based upon the values entered and applied to the column.

The filter row is displayed if the ASPxGridViewSettings.ShowFilterRow option is enabled. Set the AllowAutoFilter property to false to prevent data to be filtered by the column’s values. In this instance, the filter row doesn’t display a cell that corresponds to the column.

ASPX

<dx:ASPxGridView ID="Grid" runat="server" DataSourceID="ProductsDataSource" 
    EnableRowsCache="false" Width="100%">
    <Columns>
        <dx:GridViewDataTextColumn FieldName="ProductName">
            <Settings AutoFilterCondition="Contains" />
        </dx:GridViewDataTextColumn>
        <dx:GridViewDataComboBoxColumn FieldName="CategoryID" Caption="Category Name" SortIndex="0" SortOrder="Ascending" AdaptivePriority="1">
            <PropertiesComboBox DataSourceID="CategoriesDataSource" ValueField="CategoryID" TextField="CategoryName" ValueType="System.Int32" />
            <Settings AllowHeaderFilter="True" AllowAutoFilter="False" SortMode="DisplayText" />
            <SettingsHeaderFilter Mode="CheckedList" />
        </dx:GridViewDataComboBoxColumn>
        ...
    </Columns>
</dx:ASPxGridView>

Razor

@Html.DevExpress().GridView(settings => {
    settings.Name = "GridView";
    settings.SettingsCustomizationDialog.Enabled = true;
    ...
    settings.Columns.Add(c => {
        c.FieldName = "ProductName";
        c.Settings.AutoFilterCondition = AutoFilterCondition.Contains;
    });
    settings.Columns.Add(c => {
        c.FieldName = "CategoryID";
        c.Caption = "Category Name";
        c.SortIndex = 0;
        c.SortOrder = DevExpress.Data.ColumnSortOrder.Ascending;
        c.AdaptivePriority = 1;
        c.Settings.AllowHeaderFilter = DefaultBoolean.True;
        c.Settings.AllowAutoFilter = DefaultBoolean.False;
        c.Settings.SortMode = DevExpress.XtraGrid.ColumnSortMode.DisplayText;
        c.SettingsHeaderFilter.Mode = GridHeaderFilterMode.CheckedList;
        c.EditorProperties().ComboBox(cb => {
            cb.DataSource = NorthwindDataProvider.GetCategories();
            cb.TextField = "CategoryName";
            cb.ValueField = "CategoryID";
            cb.ValueType = typeof(int);
        });
    });
