Creating combobox dropdown (combobox excel style) filters for a radgrid

Question

I need to create custom dropdown (combobox excel style)filters for a very complex hierarchy RadGrid. Now the filter column needs to be a dropdown (combobox) listing the types of values from the bound cells to filter by. The Telerik demo is great; however, they build the radgrid dynamically. I have the grid hierarchy (Master/Details) defined in the markup and would have a very difficult time building the grid dynamically. Has anyone done this with a Telerik RadGrid and if so can you provide me sample code?

Thanks,

I am going to do the filtering on the server side. The issue is that I need a filter above each column of the grid that is a dropdown containing the values of the bound data cells. I am going to filter by an new SQL call each time the filter value changes. The main problem is I am doing an financial application that needs to look like an excel spreadsheet and above each column I need the filter dropdown. The telerik filter contains conditionals in it's dropdown but I need to display the values (group by i.e. no dups) in the filter's dropdown. I can handle the binding and filltering. What I need is to have it look just like a spreadsheet filter. Sorry for not being clear but this is the problem.
Also, I only need the filter above the top most parent column and not the childern. Also, I can't build the grid dynamically. This is a though one but I hope someone can help.

Again thanks.

I just think, posting such issues about a 3rd party control would be more useful at their respective forums. Try here:TELERIK Forum[^]

Also, look here: Telerik RadGrid Forum[^]

I had found that specific questions related to 3rd party is answered more quickly and accurately at respective forums.
