Advice Required about selecting one of Grid Filters Controls

[webclouder]

hi,

I need to implement search feature to my grids [which bind data occur through JSON asmx webservice ]. i saw in the examples 2 methods:

1. GridFilters_Remote which is plugin but look very stable.
https://examples1.ext.net/#/GridPane...ilters_Remote/

2. MultiHeader- Filter which look better from UX side but need more work to handle all cases i got.
https://examples1.ext.net/#/GridPane...Header/Filter/

so my question is which one is more optimized and better from performance angle.

any member is welcome to share/advice what approach he/she is using! maybe should be moved to open discussion, but first I hope to get response from Ext.Net team.

thanks,

Hi,

1. GridFilters_Remote which is plugin but look very stable.

Yes, it's a good and stable plugin, and many on the forums use it with success.

2. MultiHeader- Filter which look better from UX side but need more work to handle all cases i got.
https://examples1.ext.net/#/GridPane...Header/Filter/

Additional header row is also plugin and good and stable as well.

And yes, it requires to implement filtering logic yourself.

I can't estimate how much it will be difficult to implement, because don't know what exactly features you need.

thanks but how come multiheader filter is <Plugin>? in the example code no <Plugins> tag used!! please clarify that.

[Daniil]

Yes, you are right, it's built-in Ext.Net feature.

I mixed up with:

Ext.ux.grid.ColumnHeaderGroup

Please note that tihs plugin is used without <Plugins>:
https://examples1.ext.net/#/GridPane...mnHeaderGroup/

It is forced to use when GridView's .HeaderGroupRows collection is not empty.

ok good,

maybe if we got move it to open discussion others might share some thoughts...

actually my boss asked me if i can double-click on the column-header then it will be transformed to search box! is that possible?!

thanks,

Ok, I will move to the Open Discussions.

actually my boss asked me if i can double-click on the column-header then it will be transformed to search box! is that possible?!

Well, anything is possible, but, I think, it would be too hard to implement. I'd suggest you to avoid such thing.
