FilterOperatorDefaultValue Property

Specifies the default filter operator. UI for selecting filter operator in filter cell will be initialized to this value. Default is resolved to StartsWith except for DateTime, Boolean and numeric fields where it's resolved to Equals.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property FilterOperatorDefaultValue As Nullable(Of ComparisonOperator)
public Nullable<ComparisonOperator> FilterOperatorDefaultValue {get; set;}
Remarks

FilterOperatorDefaultValue property specifies the default filter operator. UI for selecting filter operator in filter cell is initialized to this value. The user can then change the operator to a different operator via the operator drop-down in the filter cell.

To control which operators are displayed in the operator drop-down list, set the FilterOperatorDropDownItems property. To hide the operator UI, set the FilterDropDownItems to None.

Note that you need to enable the filter record functionality by setting the FilterUIType property to FilterRecord and AllowRecordFiltering to True. This property controls the initial value of the operator UI in each filter cell of the filter record. When FilterUIType is set to LabelIcons, this property has no effect.

Example
The following code sets some of the properties that control filter-record related aspects regarding operator and operand UI.
