IXlTable.HasAutoFilter Property

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the filtering functionality is enabled for the table.

Namespace: DevExpress.Export.Xl

Assembly: DevExpress.Printing.v23.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Printing.Core

Declaration

C#

bool HasAutoFilter { get; set; }

VB.NET

Property HasAutoFilter As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true, to enable filtering for the table; otherwise, false.

Remarks

By default, the HasAutoFilter property is true and filtering is enabled for a table. The following image demonstrates a table with the filtering functionality turned on (the workbook is opened in Microsoft® Excel®).

Drop-down arrows are displayed on the right side of each column header in the table. An end-user can click the arrow of the desired column and select the required filter options from the drop-down menu.

To disable filtering for a table, and thereby prevent end-users from filtering and sorting table data, set the HasAutoFilter property to false, as shown in the example below.
