filtering dropdownlist control

rk
Hi,
I need to provide filtering feature for the columns in
datagrid. for that I need to provide a drop down arrow
image/button in some columns and when that arrow button is
clicked, it should display the dropdownlist/listbox with
the distinct values for that column so that user can
filter the rows using those column values. can anybody
tell me how I can get the dropdown to look like an arrow
image first and then expand underneath when the user
clicks on it?

Thanks in advance,
RK.

RK,

Depending on the browser the client machines will be using your best bet is
probably to use DHTML. The client browsers will have to support a mix of CSS
and Javascript. Using <div></div> tags with hidden or visible styles around
the drop down lists would achieve what you are looking for.

Sincerely,

I have built a control that runs an on-line help system. Depending on the category you selected via dropdownlist, it goes out and gets the child subcategories, and if there are any, adds a new dropdownlist to the screen for selection. This continues until there are no children, and then it checks for a help article list based on that last selection and displays actual articles for display. Adding the controls and getting everything...

Hi guys, I'm not sure if this question belongs to FAQ, but I couldn't find a concrete answer. I created a Datagrid control using ItemTemplate, but it's NOT a in-place editing datagrid. One of the columns of the data grid contains a DropDownlist. I managed to create this datagrid control as follows.

I'm trying to load a drop-down list with all DropDownList control names from another page. How would I be able to find those DropDownList controls? The FindControl method will only find a certain control by id, but I want to find all controls of a certain type (DropDownList in this case). Is there an easier way than to get a control count of the page, loop through all controls on that page, examine their type and, if they're a...

Hello, Does anyone have an idea on how I can filter the data in the gridview control that was returned by an sql query? I have a gridview that works fine when I populate it with data. Now I want to look at that data and filter it based on what is in it. I know that this could have been done with data sets and data views in asp.net 1.1 but how is this done now in asp.net 2.0?

Hi folks, I have a DropDownList in a DataGrid that is populated from records in a database. I want to add a value that might be a string such as "Select a Company" for the first item since an OnSelectedIndex event is not fired if you select the first item. Does anyone know of an easy way to do this?

I have a component control that I created as a UserControl which contains a SqlDataSource control, a GridView control, a DropDownList control, a TextBox control, and a Button control. The idea is that the user can select a column from the DropDownList, enter some text to search on in that column, and click the Button to perform the search. Then only the records matching the search criteria for that column will be displayed. The search...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
