Customize the date format in filter bar of dynamic filter
In order to customize the date format in filterbar cell, Format property of FilterBarCell property, FilterBarSelectedItemChanged and TableControlDrawCellDisplayText events can be used.
C#
//Customize the DateFormat. this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns["Date"].Appearance.FilterBarCell.Format = "dd-MMM-yyyy"; this.gridGroupingControl1.TopLevelGroupOptions.ShowFilterBar = true; for (int i = 0; i < this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns.Count; i++) { this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns[i].AllowFilter = true; } GridDynamicFilter dynamicFilter = new GridDynamicFilter(); dynamicFilter.WireGrid(this.gridGroupingControl1); //Triggering the FilterBarSelectedItemChanged event. this.gridGroupingControl1.FilterBarSelectedItemChanged += gridGroupingControl1_FilterBarSelectedItemChanged; //Triggering the TableControlDrawCellDisplayText event. this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControlDrawCellDisplayText += gridGroupingControl1_TableControlDrawCellDisplayText; //Handling the TableControlDrawCellDisplayText event. void gridGroupingControl1_TableControlDrawCellDisplayText(object sender, GridTableControlDrawCellDisplayTextEventArgs e) { GridTableCellStyleInfo style = (GridTableCellStyleInfo)e.Inner.Style; if (style.TableCellIdentity.Column != null && style.TableCellIdentity.Column.Name == "Date" && style.TableCellIdentity.TableCellType == GridTableCellType.FilterBarCell) { if (style.Text != "(All)" && style.Text != "(Custom....)" && style.Text != "(Empty)") e.Inner.DisplayText = string.Format("{0:dd-MMM-yyyy}", Convert.ToDateTime(style.Text)); } } //Handling the FilterBarSelectedItemChanged event. void gridGroupingControl1_FilterBarSelectedItemChanged(object sender, FilterBarSelectedItemChangedEventArgs e) { if (e.Column != null && e.Column.Name == "Date") { int row = this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.CurrentCell.RowIndex; int col = this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.CurrentCell.ColIndex; GridTableCellStyleInfo style = this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.GetTableViewStyleInfo(row, col); GridTableFilterBarExtCellRenderer renderer = this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.GetCellRenderer(row, col) as GridTableFilterBarExtCellRenderer; renderer.ControlText = string.Format("{0:dd-MMM-yyyy}", Convert.ToDateTime(style.Text)); } }
