Reply To: FlexGrid and FilterRow

Hello,

You may use C1TrueDBGrid only.
Please refer to the following blog post wherein it has been discussed how one can implement Filtering & Sorting in C1TrueDBGrid bound to business objects :

http://our.componentone.com/2012/01/23/implement-filtersort-on-c1truedbgrid-bound-to-business-objects/

You would have to handle the Filtering mechanism manually.
In this post, filtering is being handled on a button click.

Please refer to the modified sample wherein I have shown it using the default FilterBar (for this you need to handle the FilterChange event of the Grid).

Here is what you can do :

 //Filtering using FilterBar
        private void c1TrueDBGrid1_FilterChange(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //Create a new list object; to be populated with filtered values.
            List<MyPerson> p = new List<MyPerson>();
            foreach (C1.Win.C1TrueDBGrid.C1DataColumn dc in c1TrueDBGrid1.Columns)
            {
                if (dc.FilterText.Length > 0)
                {
                    try
                    {
                        if (c1TrueDBGrid1.Columns[c1TrueDBGrid1.Columns.IndexOf(dc)].Caption == "ID")
                        {
                            p = people.FindAll(delegate(MyPerson mp) { return (mp.ID == int.Parse(dc.FilterText)); });
                        }
                        else if (c1TrueDBGrid1.Columns[c1TrueDBGrid1.Columns.IndexOf(dc)].Caption == "Name")
                        {
                            p = people.FindAll(delegate(MyPerson mp) { return (mp.Name.StartsWith(dc.FilterText,StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase)); });
                        }

                    }
                    catch (Exception ex)
                    {
                        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
                    }
                }
            }
                   //bind the grid to the actual list object if filterbar is empty.
                    if (p.Count == 0)
                    {
                        c1TrueDBGrid1.SetDataBinding(people, "", true);
                    }
                    //else bind the grid to the new list object containing filtered values.   
                    else
                    {
                        c1TrueDBGrid1.SetDataBinding(p, "", true);
                    }
          
        }

Let me know if this works for you or not.
