Hi Dimo,

Sure no problem.

Say one column has "free text", one would naturally want to do a text search.

Another column has discrete (enumerable) values, one would naturally like to use a list or check box to filter.

By way of a use case example, say we are building a dashboard to display service health alerts.

The column holding "Service" (discrete values) would present checkboxes.

The column holding "Title" (free text) would present a text field.

I see a post where someone (presumably) asked to have both text search and dropdown:

Between you and me, I'd say that is more a UI faux pas than what I'm illustrating.

Thanks!

Hi Dimo,

First I'm not trying to solve a problem per se, more like providing an outline for a possible feature request.

I thought my example was clear, but let's try another way.

For a Blazor grid, you can have all of the column row filters either set to one mode or the other:

Either "FilterRow" where every column that allows filters shows a text box where you can do a text based filter.

-or-

Either "FilterMenu" where every column that allows filters shows all the unique values for a column you can select from either in a menu or check boxes.

Great this is fine.

However, if you want to have some columns with a text box and others with a menu or check box list - you need to jump though hoops to use a FilterMenuTemplate with supporting functions.  In my humble opinion, this seems to be a workaround for a feature that should come out of the box.

The feature request is to allow each column to operate in a "FilterRow" or a "FilterMenu" mode without any additional code or markup whatsoever.

Is this something Telerik would entertain for a possible future release?

Many thanks!
Ron
