GridFilterBar and Empty Value

Hello,

I want to show or add Empty Value (Empty String) to GridFilterBar values list.
I want searching all record that having empty value in specific field (For exemple : show all record having empty description without using CustomFilter.

Thank you !

Hi Zrelli,

This can be achieved by deriving the GridFilterBar class and override GridFilterBarRow and CreateUnquieEnteries methods is handled to add the "[Empty]"option in a FilterBar. Please try it and let us know if you need any further assistance.

public class MyGridFilterBar : GridFilterBar
{private GridDataBoundGrid grid1;
public override void WireGrid(GridDataBoundGrid grid, GridStyleInfo style)
{this.grid1 = grid;
base.WireGrid (grid, style);
}
protected override string GetFilterFromRow(GridDataBoundGrid grid)
{GridCurrentCell cc = grid.CurrentCell;
string s = cc.Renderer.ControlText;
string rowFilter = base.GetFilterFromRow(grid);
if(s != "[Empty]")
return rowFilter;
else
return rowFilter.Replace("[Empty]","") ;
}
protected override DataTable CreateUniqueEntries(DataView dv, string colName)
{DataTable dtt = base.CreateUniqueEntries(dv,colName);
DataRow dr= dtt.NewRow();
dr[0]="[Empty]";
dtt.Rows.InsertAt(dr,2);
return dtt;
}
}

The following sample demonstrates above technique.
