Clear indication that a column is filtered when the Column Menu is enabled

When a column is filtered, I'd like a better visual indicator of that fact.

The solid background to the menu button is not appealing, and it is applied whether a column is sorted or filtered.


The only full-featured Blazor DataGrid | Telerik UI for Blazor

I'd like a distinct indication of whether a column is filtered -- perhaps a filter icon next to the header text similar to how you might see an arrow when sorted.

---

I've attempted to create this myself using OnStateChangedHandler to iterate through the columns and call a Javascript function that finds the right column header and appends a filter icon. It kind of works sometimes, but I'm not sure I'll able to get it working consistently. Even so, it feel like a fragile hack that will probably break in a future update.

Ideally this would be an added feature, but in the meantime is there a way I can accomplish this myself?

Hello Clark,

Thank you for your patience once again! We've evaluated your request with the team. We consider that the ability to indicate that a column is filtered when the Column Menu is enabled would be a valid and useful enhancement.

Such indication could generally be achieved in various ways, so I also reached out to our UX team to revise the options. They will discuss and consider possible designs and implementation for this functionality. You may follow the progress of the case in the kendo-themes repo - https://github.com/telerik/kendo-themes/issues/3478.

Once the design is finalized, we can proceed with the implementation on the Blazor side. The current thread will help you keep track of the status in this regard. As creator, you are automatically subscribed to receive email notifications on status updates. I added your vote as we normally take that into consideration when planning the feature implementations. I also tweaked the title a bit to cover the specific case.
