When using Search as You Type behavior, the items will be first filtered using the keywords typed in the TextBox. We can create a way to disable this filtering.

Introduce property to set the text of the GridViewNewRow element responsible for adding new rows to the control.

Add an option to clear all filters at once to the column filters.

Hi,

I have been working wit the RadGridView for about 6 years now and it works great!

The only thing that still bugs me after all these years is the GridViewComboBoxColumn. The sorting and "Search as you type" features are not working for us. The fact that it uses the DataMemberBinding is something we do not get.

The fact that it is not ordered or searched into the shown value instead of the DataMemberPath is beyond me.

I mean, why would I, as a user, want to search into or sort a value that is not visible to me?

 

Adding a feature like a string property on the GridViewComboBoxColumn that is used for displaying, searching, filtering and sorting would be awesome!

The filter's distinct values work well, but the field filters show the enum value and that's not good.

 

I have attached a sample project to demonstrate the problems with sorting, filtering and searching.

There are also print screens attached to clarify each feature mentioned

Thanks!

 

Currently, the ControlPanelItem expose only standard CLR properties. Make them DependencyProperties so they can be data bound.

Introduce a way to set the modifier key used for multi-column sorting.

We could add an option to group the dates in the FilteringControl similar to how Excel groups them.

Please provide a property that will allow a message to be displayed to users when RadGridView is empty. 
Some users perception is that the program is not working properly when there is no data in the grid view so displaying a user-friendly message can be a useful way of preventing inquires and complaints.

 

Using SearchPanel and getting search results highlighted is a very usefull feature. However at the moment it is only possible to change the color of the highlight-portion of HighlightTextBlock. It would be nice if I have more formatting options like:

• HighlightFontWeight
• HighlightFontStyle

etc. So if I search for "find" I get results like "find me"

Implement a way to group columns cells vertically.

 

Enhance aggregate functions (like Sum) in footers so they support expression columns in RadGridView. 

See the attached project. It works for DataColumn, but raises an exception that no suitable generic Sum method could be found when I set the Sum footer for an expression column.

The RowStyleSelector is great for dynamically styling rows, but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to dynamically apply a style to selected rows - they just take on the default style. Something like a SelectedRowStyleSelector would be a great way to dynamically style selected rows. Thanks!

When two columns in two separate column groups have the same name and they belong two separate column groups, the column group names of the parent column groups can be appended to the display content of the GridViewGroupPanelCells.

For example, the duplicate Code columns in the attached image should have content "PG Code" and "VENUE Code" respectively.
