Setting the default filter operator via script

kklosson

In extJS, a column filter defaulted to a "contains" operation. In Kendo, it defaults to "equals". I've looked at the Kendo documentation but can't see how to set the default operation to "contains". Can anyone offer me a start?

I have not used it, but support suggested the following: (of course, change the "AttributeName" to the appropriate one") and put in the initialization script.

for (var i = 0; i < config.columns.length; ++ i)
{
if (config.columns.field == "AttributeNameCorrespondingToColumnWithFilter")
config.columns.filterable.cell = { operator: "contains" };
}

Hory cow! I just realized that you can set the default filter operation right in the query config. It was hiding in plain sight.

AwareIM is awesome!
