Modify GridGroupingControl FilterBar Row

[Chinedu]

Help guys, I need to change the behavior of the FilterBar row on my Grid.

By default, the filter row displays the unique records from each of the columns in the grid. I want to change it as follows.

1. Change the datasource of the dropdownboxes of the filters so it displays data of my own choosing, different from whats in the column it filters.

2. I want to access the underlying controls in the filter row and change their default behavious. eg. i want the comboboxes to allow multi-selection in its list, I want to change some of the comboboxes to listboxes, I want to embed datetime pickers as the filter for some columns.

3. Finally, I want to add a submit button to the grid so once the end user finishes setting the query criteria they click on this button to make the grid refresh and fill it rows with data matching the query constraints.

You can do this by adding the custom celltype in a grid. Please refer to the attached sample for more details.
