CheckedList

This mode is equivalent to DateSmart regarding the appearance of the filter dropdown. The filter dropdown displays all the available check boxes, even if there is no data that falls into a corresponding date range.

DateSmart

The filter dropdown provides a built-in calendar plus check boxes to select common non-intersecting date intervals.

Remarks

The style of column filter dropdowns can be set at three levels.

  1. Application level

    The static WindowsFormsSettings.ColumnFilterPopupMode property specifies the default column filter dropdown style for all GridControls in your application.

  2. Control level

    A View’s ColumnViewOptionsFilter.ColumnFilterPopupMode property (ColumnView.OptionsFilter.ColumnFilterPopupMode) specifies the default column filter dropdown style in a certain View. This setting overrides the WindowsFormsSettings.ColumnFilterPopupMode global setting.

  3. Column level

    A column’s OptionsColumnFilter.FilterPopupMode property (of the FilterPopupMode enumeration type) specifies the filter dropdown style for a specific column. This setting overrides the ColumnView.OptionsFilter.ColumnFilterPopupMode setting.
