How to change the default comparison operator of the filter bar.

Platform: jQuery |
Control: ejGrid |
Published Date: January 23, 2015 |
Last Revised Date: August 6, 2015

We can change the default operator of the filter bar to other operators like contains, lessthan and etc. using actionBegin client side event of the grid as follows.

Example:

JS:

 

 MVC:

 

ASP:

 

Changing the operator:

 

Result:

use args.currentFilteringColumn if you want to change the default for only a particular column instead of changing the defalut for all coulumns with the default operator of "startsWIth"    

function actionBegin(args) {
        if (args.requestType == "filtering" && args.currentFilteringColumn == "Customer")
        {
            args.currentFilterObject[0].operator = "equal";
        }
