The UltraGridFilterUIProvider allows a user to make use of a more complex, customizable interface in order to manipulate how data is presented to them. This interface uses a familiar design for faster adaptation and comfort, in addition to allowing the developer to provide additional functionality beyond simple filtering.
Filtering is controlled through a series of FilterTool objects, each of which corresponds to different item that is shown on a menu. The standard types of tools that a user will deal with are FilterButtonTools, FilterOperandTools, FilterMenuTools, and a single instance of a FilterTreeTool that allows for a finer degree of control over which values should be presented in the associated grid.
Though the filter provider will generate a default list of items based on the underlying data type of the column, items can be added, removed, or repositioned through the BeforeMenuPopulate and AfterMenuPopulate events. This allows the ability to add functionality to the user that can meet the needs of a custom application, such as adding a new FilterButtonTool and handling the ButtonToolClick event in order to apply sorting to a column.
The appearances of all of the items on the provider can be customized through the ButtonSettings, MenuSettings, and TreeSettings properties. In addition, each of the tools can have appearances set indivually through the AfterMenuPopulate event; these settings will override any component-level properties.
