Hi,

It seems there is no built in feature in RadFilter Control to populate the filters in Combobox, and seems like its using Context Menu now. The problem is, we are populating large number of filters (>50) and navigating through the context menu to look for particular filter is painful.

We are requesting a feature to have the filters populated in something like Typeahead Combobox. (Please see attached screenshot)

Change the RadFilter search algorithm from DFS to search the “closest" control algorithm

The issue can be reproduced in the following demo - Grid - Declarative Binding

Steps:

  • In the RadGrid bound to WCF Web Service initially apply "NoFilter" to one column.
  • Apply any random filter to another column of the Grid and monitor the DevTools Consol for the error

See http://somup.com/cYjZIU6NG9

It would be extremely useful if a RadFilterDropDownEditor could expose a DataSource property and a DataBind method to facilitate typical database binding operations. Only allowing the use of a SqlDataSource goes against the concept of separation of duties and forces SQL to be maintained in two places rather than in one Data Layer.

Currently when trying to use datatype of a Nullable Decimal with a RadFilter, when applying the expression an invalid cast exception is thrown due to Nullable Decimals not being support and the fallback DataType of Double being used when using a RadFilterNumericFieldEditor.

I would like RadFilterNumericFieldEditor to support DataType of Nullable Decimal.

Component: RadFilter ( RadFilterExpressionConverter ,  RadFilterExpressionSerializer )
Affected: 2026.2.708 and later, where the JSON serializer replaced the Newtonsoft one


Description:
 RadFilterExpressionConverter.IsValidFieldName  ( RadFilterExpressionConverter.cs:180 ) allows only letters, digits,  _  and  . . Any other  FieldName  is silently replaced with  null  during  LoadSettings() . SaveSettings()  does not validate, so a bracket-qualified name saves but can't be loaded.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a RadFilter with a RadFilterTextFieldEditor where FieldName = "[dataBooking].[TotalPaid]" .
2. Add a  RadFilterLessThanFilterExpression<string>  on that field with the value  "1000" .
3. Call  SaveSettings() . The JSON contains  "FieldName":"[dataBooking].[TotalPaid]" .
4. On a new  RadFilter  with the same editor, call  LoadSettings(saved) .

Sample console application code snippet to reproduce the issue:

using System;
using System.Collections;
using Telerik.Web.UI;

namespace RadFilterBracketFieldNameRepro
{
    class Program
    {
        private const string BracketedFieldName = "[dataBooking].[TotalPaid]";

        static void Main()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Telerik.Web.UI version: " + typeof(RadFilter).Assembly.GetName().Version);
            Console.WriteLine("FieldName under test:   " + BracketedFieldName);
            Console.WriteLine();

            // 1) Build a filter with one expression against a bracket-qualified field name.
            //    This format is not unusual -- it's what you get for any field name that needs
            //    to be schema/table-qualified. Telerik's own RadFilterSqlExpressionEvaluator
            //    produces the same "[table].[column]" shape when generating SQL.
            RadFilter source = new RadFilter();
            source.FieldEditors.Add(new RadFilterTextFieldEditor { FieldName = BracketedFieldName });

            RadFilterLessThanFilterExpression<string> expression = new RadFilterLessThanFilterExpression<string>(BracketedFieldName);
            ((IRadFilterValueExpression)expression).SetValues(new ArrayList { "1000" });
            source.RootGroup.AddExpression(expression);

            // 2) Persist it the normal way.
            string savedState = source.SaveSettings();
            Console.WriteLine("SaveSettings() output (base64):");
            Console.WriteLine(savedState);
            Console.WriteLine();
            Console.WriteLine("Decoded JSON:");
            Console.WriteLine(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String(savedState)));
            Console.WriteLine();

            // 3) Simulate the next request restoring that saved state into a fresh RadFilter,
            //    exactly like a report/page reload would.
            RadFilter restored = new RadFilter();
            restored.FieldEditors.Add(new RadFilterTextFieldEditor { FieldName = BracketedFieldName });

            try
            {
                restored.LoadSettings(savedState);

                RadFilterLessThanFilterExpression<string> restoredExpression = (RadFilterLessThanFilterExpression<string>)restored.RootGroup.Expressions[0];

                Console.WriteLine("FieldName after LoadSettings(): '" + restoredExpression.FieldName + "'");
                Console.WriteLine(restoredExpression.FieldName == BracketedFieldName
                    ? "OK -- FieldName round-tripped correctly."
                    : "BUG REPRODUCED -- FieldName was lost during LoadSettings().");
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("BUG REPRODUCED -- LoadSettings() threw:");
                Console.WriteLine(ex);
            }

            Console.WriteLine();
            Console.WriteLine("Press Enter to exit...");
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

Expected: The expression is restored with its original FieldName.

Actual:

System.ArgumentException: Parameter cannot be null or empty.
Parameter name: fieldName
  RadFilterDataFieldEditorCollection.FindEditorForFieldName
  RadFilterSingleExpressionItem.SetupFunctionInterface
  RadFilter.CreateFilterItems / CreateChildControls
  RadFilter.RecreateControl
