FilterUIType Property

Specifies the user interface type for letting the user filter records. Default is resolved to FilterRecord.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property FilterUIType As FilterUIType
public FilterUIType FilterUIType {get; set;}
Remarks

FilterUIType property specifies the type of user interface that the data presenter will use to let the user filter records. See enum for more information.

NOTE: To actually enable the filtering functionality, set the property on the FieldSettings of the FieldLayout (FieldSettings), or the DataPresenter (FieldSettings or individual Field (Settings). Setting AllowRecordFiltering is necessary for FilterUIType property to have any effect.

To actually specify filter conditions in code to pre-filter the records, use the FieldLayout's RecordFilters or the RecordManager's RecordManager.RecordFilters depending on the RecordFilterScope property setting. By default FieldLayout's RecordFilters are used.

To check if a data record is filtered out, use the record's DataRecord.IsFilteredOut property. GroupByRecord also exposes GroupByRecord.IsFilteredOut property, which returns true if all of its descendant data records are filtered out.

Example
The following code snipet enables record filtering functionality.

Imports Infragistics.Windows
Imports Infragistics.Windows.Editors
Imports Infragistics.Windows.DataPresenter

    Private Sub Window1_Loaded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
        
        ' Set AllowRecordFiltering to enable record filter UI.
        _dp.FieldSettings.AllowRecordFiltering = True

        ' Use FilterUIType to specify what type of UI to use: Filter icons 
        ' in the field labels or the filter-record.
        _dp.FieldLayoutSettings.FilterUIType = FilterUIType.FilterRecord

        ' If using filter-record, use FilterRecordLocation to control the location of
        ' the filter record.
        _dp.FieldLayoutSettings.FilterRecordLocation = FilterRecordLocation.OnTopFixed

    End Sub
using Infragistics.Windows;
using Infragistics.Windows.Editors;
using Infragistics.Windows.DataPresenter;

		public void Window1_Loaded( object sender, RoutedEventArgs e )
		{
			// Set AllowRecordFiltering to enable record filter UI.
			_dp.FieldSettings.AllowRecordFiltering = true;

			// Use FilterUIType to specify what type of UI to use: Filter icons 
			// in the field labels or the filter-record.
			_dp.FieldLayoutSettings.FilterUIType = FilterUIType.FilterRecord;

			// If using filter-record, use FilterRecordLocation to control the location of
			// the filter record.
			_dp.FieldLayoutSettings.FilterRecordLocation = FilterRecordLocation.OnTopFixed;
		}
