  Hi,

  I’m wondering if i can set a property preventing the user from filtering a specific column?

  i control filtering in code-behind and don’t want the user to see the Filter icon on the column…

  Thank you,
  
  Guy

  Hi Guy,

  You can use grid’s ColumnFilter for the purpose. Please refer the application implementing the same for the Country column:

  Hi Pragati,

  Thank you for your answer and sample.
  
  However - Once i set a filter via code behind these settings are cleared and i can see the filter icons again…

  1. Is there a way to hide the filter icons all together?
  2. I noticed that when the grid is FlowDirection=‘RightToLeft’ the filter icons are also flipped causing the check mark to show incorrectly (a mirror image of a check mark)…

  Thank you,
  
  Guy

  Hi Guy,

  As per my understanding of your requirement, it seems you wish to set the filter for specific columns (via Code-Behind) but prevent the user from applying/modifying the filter for those columns. If it is so, then once you have set the filter for the column(s) then you may specify that column’s Filter.FilterType to None. Please refer attached image for code-snippet and corresponding output.
  
  
  
  Also, I have uploaded a sample application for your reference: https://www.dropbox.com/s/z6fy04ltnkr2r0o/FlexGrid_ColumnFilterIssue.zip?dl=0

  1. To hide the filter icons all together for all the columns in grid, you may use C1FlexGrid’s EnableFiltering(False) method, as follows:

  _flex.EnableFiltering(false);
  

  2. I could observe the same and it is a Bug. Hence the same has been forwarded to the concerned team for fix {Tracking ID: 294155}.
