How to: Implement a Filtering UI for a Data Grid View

The following example shows how to design a filtering UI for a DataGridView. Populate a view with filter items and set their Context property to the data grid’s FilteringContext. For each filter item, specify the FilterElementBase.FieldName property so that items can obtain their values from the corresponding data fields.

How to: Implement a Filtering UI for a Collection View

The following example shows how to design a filtering UI for a DXCollectionView. You need to populate a view with filter items and set their Context properties to the collection view’s FilteringContext. For each filter item, specify the FilterItemBase.FieldName property so that an item can obtain its values from the corresponding data field.

<VerticalStackLayout>
    <!-- The BindingContext contains the DXCollectionView.FilteringContext property value -->
    <dxe:FilterRadioListPickerItem Context="{Binding}" FieldName="City" ImageSource="filteringui_location" ImageColor="{DynamicResource AccentColor}"/>
    <dxe:FilterChipGroupItem Context="{Binding}" Text="Property Status" FieldName="Status" CustomDisplayText="OnCustomDisplayText"/>
    <dxe:FilterCheckedChipGroupItem Context="{Binding}" Text="Property Type" FieldName="Type" CustomDisplayText="OnCustomDisplayText"/>
    <dxe:FilterNumericRangeFormItem Context="{Binding}" Text="Price" FieldName="Price2"/>
    <dxe:FilterNumericRangeFormItem Context="{Binding}" Text="Square Feet" FieldName="HouseSize"/>
    <dxe:FilterCheckedChipGroupItem Context="{Binding}" Text="Bedrooms" FieldName="Beds"/>
    <dxe:FilterNumericRangeFormItem Context="{Binding}" Text="Year Built" FieldName="YearBuilt"/>
    <dxe:FilterCheckItem Context="{Binding}" Text="Must have garage" FieldName="IsGarageExist"/>
