ASPxGridView - AutoFilterCondition - how to process search requests with wild-card symbols like "%Cheese%Cream%"

created 9 years ago

[DevExpress Support Team: CLONED FROM Q310741: How to use the "Contains" filter operator in the Auto Filter Row]
Hi Svetlana,

I am using "contains" in my gridview  for one column but I have an issue where it does not work.

When I type in “cheese cream”… nothing gets found… then I type cheese phil   if finds a record as the exact description in the grid is Cheese Philadelphia Cream. So can I do something with filter that will allow me to search on %Cheese%Cream%

I hope I am clear . Please let me know if you need any further information

Thanks
Nirav

Hello,

Currently, the ASPxGridView filter row does not support wild-card symbols in a filter expression by default. See the ASPxGridView (BC1125) - Wildcards ("%", "_", "*", "?") are no longer supported in auto-filter row article for more information regarding this.
To use the "%" or "_" wildcard, you can enable the grid's filter row menu by setting ShowFilterRowMenu to true and add the "Like" operation to the filter row menu. Set the GridViewDataColumnSettings.ShowFilterRowMenuLikeItem to true for the required column to add this operation. In this case, after selecting the Like menu item, you will be able to use such expressions in the filter row. See the attached video demonstrating this behavior.
Let us know if this approach meets your requirements.
