ColumnBase.AllowColumnFiltering Property

Gets or sets whether a user can filter data by the column. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v24.1.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Grid.Core

Declaration

C#

public DefaultBoolean AllowColumnFiltering { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property AllowColumnFiltering As DefaultBoolean

Property Value

Type	Description
DefaultBoolean	A DefaultBoolean enumeration value that specifies whether a user can filter data by the column.

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

Remarks

The GridControl allows users to filter data if the DataViewBase.AllowColumnFiltering property is set to true.

Individual columns include the AllowColumnFiltering property that allows you to overwrite the behavior specified by the view. This can be useful when it is required to prevent a user from invoking the filter dropdown of individual columns:

Xaml

<dxg:GridControl.Columns>
    <dxg:GridColumn FieldName="OID" Header="Id" />
    <dxg:GridColumn FieldName="From" />
    <dxg:GridColumn FieldName="AnimationElement" 
                    UnboundDataType="{x:Type sys:Object}" 
                    Visible="False" 
                    ShowInColumnChooser="False" 
                    AllowColumnFiltering="False" />
</dxg:GridControl.Columns>

Note

The AllowColumnFiltering property does not affect the availability of the Automatic Filter Row. To control the availability of the Automatic Filter Row, use the ColumnBase.AllowAutoFilter property.

If the AllowColumnFiltering property is set to Default, the ability to filter data is controlled by the view’s DataViewBase.AllowColumnFiltering property. In this case, use the ColumnBase.ActualAllowColumnFiltering property to get whether a user can filter data by the current column.
