Question

I’m trying to use a DevExpress ASPxGridView to display some data. I need to allow my users to filter on a particular column, and I’d like to let them filter between two dates.

I know this is possible with the use of the FilterBar, but I’d like to try and do it in the actual filter row (the row that appears underneath the header), possibly as two date select boxes, (a from, to combo).

Any ideas how to modify the FilterRow would be useful,

Thanks

Just an updated for anyone who may have the same question in the future:

Figured out to do it:

On your DevExpress ASPxGridView, add an event method on the “AutoFilterCellEditorInitialize”, and intercept the creation here.

You can then add your additional controls into the filter row by doing a simple check of the column; For Example:

protected void gridView_AutoFilterCellEditorInitialize(object sender, ASPxGridViewEditorEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Column.Caption.Equals("FieldName"))
    {
        e.Editor.Controls.Add( new ASPxDateEdit() );
    }
}

Hope this helps anyone with a similar problem!
