Changing default filter type in GridDynamic filter

[Robin Tanner]

I am using GridDynamicFilter for my grouping grid and when i enter text in filter box and click on enter, it is searching based on "Starts With", but i need to search it based on "Equals" by default. Is there any way to do this.

I am using 9.3.0.61

My Code:
            GridDynamicFilter filter = new GridDynamicFilter();
            filter.ApplyFilterOnlyOnCellLostFocus = true;
            filter.WireGrid(this);

Hi Robin,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion Products.

You can make use of the following code to achieve the result:

  GridTableFilterBarExtCellRenderer rend = this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.CurrentCell.Renderer as GridTableFilterBarExtCellRenderer;
RecordFilterDescriptor filter = e.Item as RecordFilterDescriptor;
 filter.Expression = "[" + filter.MappingName + "]" + " " + "Equals" + " " + "'" + rend.TextBox.Text + "'";

Please let me know if you have any concerns.

Thanks for the reply Athiram.
But in which event should I write this code?

Hi Robin,

Sorry for inconvenience.

You need to make use of the code in "RecordFilters.Changing"event and achieve the results.

Please let me know if you have any concerns.

Thanks Athiram
In my case this.TableControl.CurrentCell.Renderer is always null. Do I need to initiate it ?
