How does the Filter property of a grid work? *SOLVED*
Posted: Thu Oct 02, 2014 8:45 pm
I have a form with a grid control that displays data from a datasource. I want to be able to filter the data based on what's typed in a textbox.
The grid has a Filter property, but I can't figure out how it works. Typing "true" or "false" works as expected, but any other expression or variable I try just errors out. What sort of value does the Filter property of the grid form control accept?
Edit: Now that this thread is approved, I've already figured out how this property works. This page basically explains what you can do with it. You can use column names and explicit values, with plenty of different operators. You can't use variable names, but this can be worked around by setting the filter property through code. Some more detail in the Stimulsoft docs would be helpful to others.
