Display the filter in the AutoFilterRow after the view's layout has been restored

Workaround
Save/restore the AutoFilterRow's values via events. Here is the necessary code for the GridLookUp in-place editor:

C#
using DevExpress.XtraEditors;  
using DevExpress.XtraGrid;  
using DevExpress.XtraGrid.Columns;  
using DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid;  

ArrayList filterList;  
bool isRestoringFilter = false;  

private void repositoryItemGridLookUpEdit1View_ColumnFilterChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) {  
    GridView lookupView = sender as GridView;  
    if(isRestoringFilter || lookupView.FocusedRowHandle != GridControl.AutoFilterRowHandle) return;  

    filterList = new ArrayList();  
    foreach(GridColumn column in lookupView.Columns) {  
        object filter = lookupView.GetRowCellValue(GridControl.AutoFilterRowHandle, column.FieldName);  
        if(filter != null) {  
            ColumnAutoFilterInfo info = new ColumnAutoFilterInfo();  
            info.FieldName = column.FieldName;  
            info.Filter = filter;  
            filterList.Add(info);  
        }  
    }  
}  

private void repositoryItemGridLookUpEdit1_Popup(object sender, EventArgs e) {  
    if(filterList == null || filterList.Count == 0) return;  
    isRestoringFilter = true;  
    GridLookUpEdit editor = (GridLookUpEdit)sender;  
    GridView lookupView = editor.Properties.View;  
    lookupView.FocusedRowHandle = GridControl.AutoFilterRowHandle;  
    foreach(ColumnAutoFilterInfo info in filterList)  
        lookupView.SetRowCellValue(GridControl.AutoFilterRowHandle, info.FieldName, info.Filter);  
    isRestoringFilter = false;  
}  

public class ColumnAutoFilterInfo {  
    public string FieldName;  
    public object Filter;  
}  

Hello Georg,
Please add this code line to the entry point of your application to enable this feature in DXperience v8.1.1 or higher:

C#
static void Main() {  
    GridView.GuessAutoFilterRowValuesFromFilterAfterRestoreLayout = true;  

If we get positive feedback on this change, we'll make this feature permanent in DXperience v2008 vol 2.
Thanks,
Nick
