FilterBar in GridGroupingControl

[Doug]

Is there a way to hook or override the Filter action in the GridGroupingControl? I can handle the TableControlCurrentCellShowingDropDown event to populate the list box with my values, but there are two other things I would like to do:

1. Catch the selection of the (Custom) filter option to put up my own filter dialog (like in the data bound grid control).

2. Implement my own record filtering. I am mapping to huge db tables, and I want to either reload the grid with a new DataView on my current DataSet, or re-query the database based on the new filter.

Doug,

if you want to use your own filtering logic I would suggest you do not use the current filter bar implementation at all.

Instead you could add a custom row in the TopLevelGroup (see CustomSectionInGroup example) and there show comboboxes that you fill with summaries (use a DistinctCountSummary to get all possible values for that column)
