Hello.

I've a grid using advanced filter. I want to add a button in my page (outside the grid) that opens the filtering dialog. As I couldn't find any method in the documentation (http://help.infragistics.com/jQuery/2014.2/ui.igGridFiltering) I used this line:

grid.find(".ui-iggrid-filterbutton:first").click();

That wasn't very nice or clean but it worked. It also added a new condition for the filters with the first column selected. That happened because I was triggering the click in the filtering button of the first column's header. I wasn't very worried about it, I didn't think users would find that annoying.

After a few time I had to add Sorting feature to the grid. As the headers changed (now they have 'Feature Chooser Button') my code to open the dialog stopped working. I've tried a new workaround which was finding the filters li in the 'Feature Chooser Popover' and clicking it. However it doesn't work and I would like some clean solution that will not stop working when I change grid settings.

Summing up: how can I open the advanced filtering dialog programatically?

Thanks,

Diego
