Is it possible to implement a custom filter control on a column

Hello,

Perhaps you could you use “OnFilterContextMenu” client side event.
This event will be invoked when the column filter's context menu is about to be displayed.

Here’s the example snippet code how to define “OnFilterContextMenu” (JavaScript) function:

function WebGrid1_OnFilterContextMenu(controlId, col, menu, location){
    alert(col.Name);
    return true;
}

I attached a WebGrid page that using “OnFilterContextMenu” client side event as well.

Hi Hans,

This is not what we want to do. We need to be able to intercept the click on the funnel icon in order to open our own filter input window. And then do a fly postback in order to apply this filter on the data source.

We do not want that the webgrid applies any filter, we would like to do it on the data source directly.

Regards,

Alex

Hello,

In WebGrid Solution Samples, there is page, “ColumnAction.aspx” page, which show custom filter in WebGrid.
You also could see WebGrid’s documentation regarding custom filter in “Walkthrough Topics” section, “Applying custom filtering in WebGrid”.

Regarding custom sorting, you could see in WebGrid’s documentation as well. (Walkthrough: Applying custom sorting in WebGrid).

Please kindly have review on the sample page and documentation.
You could modify the code from WebGrid sample page with your own custom code.

Thank you.

Regards,
Hans K.

Hi,

We would like to use our own control in order to input a filter on a column. Is it possible to do it. For example, when a user click on the filter bar for a specific column we would like to open a popup, ask for some parameters and then when they close that popup, sort the grid with a custom method we have.

Regards,

Alex
