Taking out FilterRow from XCeed DataGrid control

Is it possible to pull out filter row from XCeed DataGrid control to some other place like group box ? If possible, how ? Any pointers will be appreciated.

Please consider scenario given below where when I click on Filter button, Product Name column will be filtered according to filter query. For doing this scenario I need to take out FilterRow Cell for 开发者_开发知识库Product Name.

You can get a full sample that shows exactly what you need in the demo files that come with the Xceed DataGrid.

It's default location on your hard drive would be:

Here is a code snippet that shows how to do this using an AutoFilterControl that binds to the corresponding DataGrid Column that you need.

<GroupBox x:Name="groupBox" Header="Auto-filter Actions"
                  Margin="{StaticResource groupBoxMargin}"
                  Padding="{StaticResource groupBoxPadding}"
                  Grid.Column="0">
           <StackPanel x:Name="stackPanel">
              <!-- ComboBoxes for automatic filtering -->
              <Grid Grid.Column="2"
                    HorizontalAlignment="Right">
                 <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    <ColumnDefinition />
                    <ColumnDefinition Width="135" />
                    <ColumnDefinition />
                 </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

                 <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                    <RowDefinition MinHeight="30" />
                    <RowDefinition MinHeight="30" />
                    <RowDefinition MinHeight="30" />

This is the important part:

 <xcdg:AutoFilterControl x:Name="shipCountryAutoFilterControl"
                                 Grid.Column="1"
                                 Grid.Row="0"
                                 AutoFilterColumn="{Binding ElementName=grid, Path=Columns[ShipCountry]}"
                                 AutoFilterContext="{Binding ElementName=grid, Path=(xcdg:DataGridControl.DataGridContext)}"
                                 Focusable="False"
                                 Width="Auto">

Yes it's possible! Check out xceed datagrid documentation! http://doc.xceedsoft.com/products/XceedWpfDataGrid/ I am sorry but i cant find any direct link so you have to navigate from the left panel: XCeed DataGrid for WPF->DataGrid Foundamentals->Manipulating Data->Filtering Data

Look for FilterRow in the XAML of your DataGridControl definition and delete.

<xcdg:DataGridControl ... > 
  <DataTemplate>
    <xcdg:FilterRow Background="Pink" />
  </DataTemplate>
</xcdg:DataGridControl>
