Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	Default	A DefaultBoolean value that specifies that a user can change a column’s filter mode via a menu item.

Available values:

Name	Description
True	true. DefaultBoolean.True has a constant value of 0, while the standard true value corresponds to a value of 1. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
False	false. DefaultBoolean.False has a constant value of 1, while the standard false value corresponds to a value of 0. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
Default	The default behavior determined by the control’s logic.

Remarks

A column’s filter mode (GridColumn.FilterMode) specifies how the column’s values are filtered - by values or display values.

When the AllowFilterModeChanging property is set to True, a dedicated menu item is available in the Column Header Context Menu. It allows an end-user to change the filter mode dynamically at runtime.

The DefaultBoolean.Default value is interpreted as True if a column embeds any lookup editor (A LookUpEditBase class descendant). For other in-place editors, this option is regarded as False.
