GridGroupingControl & FilterBar

[Srdjan]

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but my simple app crashes if I turn on filtering in ggc control.

Control crashes in design time and in runtime.

Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Ok, another question.

Now I'm initializing filterbar in form constructor after setting DataSource property.

FilterBar is shown and so is the data in grid. However upon clicking on FilterBar dropdown i only see default values: (All), (Custom) and (Empty). I don't see values in the filter.

I set up FilterBar using:
grid.TableDescriptor.TopLevelGroupOptions.ShowFilterBar = true;
and for each column I place:
AllowFilter = true;

Can you suggest what I'm doing wrong?

Ok, in this example you can see two issues. I have found why is this happening. If column name and mapping name are different than filter bar isn't working. This is not a big problem since I don't have reasons to keep them different.

Second issue: FilterBar is displaying ValueMembers instead of Display members. Not good.

Question: How can I support incremental search in GGC? Actually I want Autocomplete support in FilterBar so that users can type first few letters and grid filters all rows that are containing that letters in column. I need this functionality.

Thanks.
