ColumnView.ShowCustomFilterDialog(GridColumn) Method

Displays the custom filter dialog.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Base

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraGrid.v19.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public virtual void ShowCustomFilterDialog(
    GridColumn column
)

VB.NET

Public Overridable Sub ShowCustomFilterDialog(
    column As GridColumn
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
column	GridColumn	A GridColumn column whose filtering settings will be modified by the custom filter dialog.

Remarks

Use the ShowCustomFilterDialog method to manually activate the custom filter dialog. An end-user can activate this dialog by selecting the (Custom) item from the Column’s Filter DropDown.

Note

Detail pattern Views do not contain data and they are never displayed within XtraGrid. So, the ShowCustomFilterDialog member must not be invoked for these Views. The ShowCustomFilterDialog member can only be used with real Views that are displayed within the Grid Control. The real Views with which an end-user interacts at runtime can be accessed using the following methods.

• GridControl.MainView - returns the top most View in a grid;
• GridControl.FocusedView - returns the focused View;
• GridControl.DefaultView - returns the currently maximized View;
• the sender parameter of View specific events;
• GridView.GetDetailView - returns a detail clone View for a specific master row.
