Hiding devexpress editors in filterrow

Question

I have a TcxGrid where I have a filter defined on, but since I have some checkboxes and buttons in the grid, they are also shown in the filterrow. I have tried almost everything to get rid of them, but nothing works. The answers from DevExpress are not helpfull either (if I had the time I would actually change to some other components)

Is there anyone who has worked with this and might have a solution I could use?

Answer 1

The project below shows the filter box (which is what I thought you were talking about) below the data rows and without any of the controls defined for the grid columns. I hope this is the sort of thing you are after.

Btw, I did this with a recent version of TcxGrid dating from earlier this year, v.15 iirc.

update I confess I'm confused by your question because surely the reason the controls are displayed in the filter row is to allow the user to specify the values for the filter, so if you were to hide them, the user couldn't use the filter row. If you want a better answer than mine, I think you need to update your q to explain exactly what you're trying to do.

I'm not sure if you are aware but the Filter Box has a Position property that can be set so that the box displays above the data rows.

Code

  TForm1 = class(TForm)
    cxGrid1DBTableView1: TcxGridDBTableView;
    cxGrid1Level1: TcxGridLevel;
    cxGrid1: TcxGrid;
    CDS1: TClientDataSet;
    CDS1Marked: TBooleanField;
    CDS1ID: TIntegerField;
    DS1: TDataSource;
    cxGrid1DBTableView1ID: TcxGridDBColumn;
    cxGrid1DBTableView1Marked: TcxGridDBColumn;
    CDS1Value: TIntegerField;
    cxGrid1DBTableView1Value: TcxGridDBColumn;
    procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
  private
  protected
  public
  end;

var
  Form1: TForm1;

implementation

{$R *.DFM}

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  CDS1.CreateDataSet;
  CDS1.InsertRecord([0, False, 99]);
  CDS1.InsertRecord([1, False, 88]);
  CDS1.InsertRecord([2, False, 77]);
  CDS1.InsertRecord([3, False, 66]);
  CDS1.First;
end;

end.
