FYI : iam using devexpress

Say

Answer 1

Is it devexpress' grid view, isn't it? I don't know if this solution will suit your needs, but you can insert normal button control near grid and put code from answer on this site, inside click action.

EDIT: Found answer for your question - unfortunately it's not possible to add custom button to auto filter row

Chuipek

yes, its devexpress, so we cant input button at repository item combobox? – Say

i have try it, nothing works, also its not what i want (no clear button). – Say

Maybe add custom column with button inside like here? – Chuipek

i think that was not winform, which's i dont understand – Say

Found this example. Please try it, and tell if it works :) – Chuipek

eem, i think that was not what i want either :( from title u can see it's for column header, i believe its differrent when implementing it at my autofilterrow, because its already got repository combo box item.. :( – Say

so it cant be implement ? thaxnks – Say

Answer 2

(From the top of my head, I assume this is for the WinForms controls)

You'll need to have two RepositoryItems, one without the clear button, and one with the button (you can add buttons via the RepositioryItem's Buttons property).

You'll assign the RepositoryItem without the additional button to the relevant column.

Then you'll need to handle the GridView's CustomRowCellEditEventHandler. Check if the event's e.RowHandle equal GridControl.AutoFilterRow, and if so, assign e.RepositoryItem to the RepositoryItem with the clear button.

Then handle the clear button RepositoryItem's ButtonClicked event.
