TreeList.ActiveFilterString Property
Gets or sets the total filter expression for the TreeList.
Namespace: DevExpress.XtraTreeList
Assembly: DevExpress.XtraTreeList.v19.2.dll
Declaration
[Browsable(false)]
[DefaultValue("")]
[XtraSerializableProperty(1000)]
[XtraSerializablePropertyId(3)]
public string ActiveFilterString { get; set; }Property Value
| Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| String | String.Empty | A string that specifies the total filter expression applied to the TreeList. |
Remarks
Assigning any filter string to the ActiveFilterString property clears any filters that have been previously assigned, and then applies a new filter expression to the TreeList.
Example
treeList1.ActiveFilterString = "([ProductID] = 1 OR [ProductID] = 3 OR [ProductID] > 10) AND [Discount] = 0";
Example
The following example creates a TreeList at runtime and shows how to perform basic customization tasks:
- Bind the treelist to a data source
- Specify the key fields that form a hierarchy
- Access automatically created columns
- Set a custom row height
- Customize column captions (using HTML tags) and cell appearance settings
- Create unbound columns and create Excel-style format conditions based on these column values
- Assign an in-place editor (a spin editor) to columns
- Sort data
- Calculate total summaries
- Filter nodes
- Hide columns and calculate column “best” widths
- Locate and expand nodes
- Focus a specific cell
- Specify DataAnnotation attributes at the data source level (the “p0” display format for the MarketShare field)
