Auto Filter Row
The Automatic Filter Row allows data to be filtered dynamically by typing text within the row. When a user types text in the row, a filter condition is automatically created based upon the value entered, and this is applied to the focused data column.
Set the ColumnBase.ShowCriteriaInAutoFilterRow property to true to make the filter criteria selector available to users. The filter criteria selector allows users to choose the desired filter criteria from a drop-down list.
The table below lists the main properties that affect element behavior and appearance.
| Characteristics | Members |
|---|---|
| Visibility | DataControlBase.ShowAutoFilterRow |
| Availability and Behavior | ColumnBase.AllowAutoFilter, ColumnBase.ImmediateUpdateAutoFilter |
| Criteria Selector Availability | ColumnBase.ShowCriteriaInAutoFilterRow |
| Condition | ColumnBase.AutoFilterCondition |
| Criteria | ColumnBase.AutoFilterCriteria |
Note
If the ColumnBase.ShowCriteriaInAutoFilterRow property is set to true, the GridControl ignores the ColumnBase.AutoFilterCondition property. In this case, use the ColumnBase.AutoFilterCriteria property to apply the required condition.
