DxFilterBuilder.CustomizeOperators Event

Allows you to customize criteria operator lists in the Filter Builder component.

Assembly : DevExpress.Blazor.v25.2.dll

Declaration

csharp

[Parameter]
public Action<FilterBuilderCustomizeOperatorsEventArgs> CustomizeOperators { get; set; }

Parameters

Type	Description
FilterBuilderCustomizeOperatorsEventArgs

An object that contains data for this event.

Remarks

When a user creates or changes a filter condition, the Filter Builder populates the criteria operator list with corresponding items. Handle the CustomizeOperators event to customize the list.

You can use the following event arguments:

DefaultOperatorSpecifies the default operator item.FieldNameReturns the data source field.FieldTypeReturns the field data type.OperatorsReturns a collection of associated operator items.ShowGroupsSpecifies whether the Filter Builder arranges criteria operators into groups.

The following code snippet adds a custom operator for DateTime fields and specifies a custom criteria list for the Amount field:

<DxFilterBuilder CustomizeOperators="CustomizeOperators" >
    <Fields>
        <DxFilterBuilderField FieldName="Subject" Caption="Name" Type="@typeof(string)" />
        <DxFilterBuilderField FieldName="CreatedDate" Caption="Created Date" Type="@typeof(DateTime)" />
