I am attempting to filter results in a RadGrid.

What I am looking for is the programmatic equivalent of selecting the all but (blanks) or not (blanks) option from the filtering area.

I will apply filters of " " and "" but still will get results of "   " or varying amounts of whitespace that I don't want in the results. I cannot do this with a composite filter as I cannot capture all of cases of whitespace, but removing (blanks) achieves the correct results.

Thanks

Hello Matthew,

This is not possible with the regular filter since it only has one value. When using the "Blanks" option from the drop-down the grid will iterate all rows and creates a composite filter (see attached). In this case, I would recommend doing the same. Another option is to use custom filtering

I hope this helps. Should you have any other questions, do not hesitate to ask.

I appreciate pointing me in the right direction.

For my solution I iterated through the rows and marked all cells as "invalid". Then I applied a filter for the string "invalid" so I can hide them but also see all offending rows.

Thanks Dimitar,
