The Filter Panel displays a string representation of the filter criteria applied to the grid. It displays the following elements:
-
Filter Expression
Column filters are combined by the AND operator into a single filter expression which is applied to a View. The filter string can be considered to be the WHERE clause of a SQL SELECT statement. To obtain the filter string applied to a View, use the DataControlBase.FilterString property.
-
Clear Button
Clears the current filter.
-
Enable Filter
This check box can be used by an end-user to enable or temporarily disable the current filter. To do this in code, use the DataControlBase.IsFilterEnabled property.
The table below lists the main properties affecting element behavior and appearance.
