Hello Benjamin,

OK, if you want to show the search string in the FilterMenu and this leads to repetitive textboxes, this means that the filter descriptor structure is wrong. For example, GridState.FilterDescriptors has a single parent descriptor, while it should have multiple ones - one for each filtered Field (Member). However, if you do this, the Grid will stop showing data, because the component applies all filter descriptors at root level with an AND logical operator, while you need OR.

So, my advice is to show the search string somewhere outside the FilterMenu and use the SearchFilter property of the Grid state.

Hello Benjamin,

It looks like your app is adding FilterDescriptors to the Filter state. Instead, it should add descriptors to the Search state.

Note this code in our example. If you enable the FilterMenu for it, it will still work.

        GridState<SampleData> desiredState = new GridState<SampleData>()
        {
            SearchFilter = CreateSearchFilter()
        };

        await Grid.SetStateAsync(desiredState);
