Glossary Item Box

Automatically filters the rows in the specified column according to the specified filter.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Sub AutoFilterColumn( _
   ByVal column As Integer, _
   ByVal filterString As String, _
   ByVal filterItemIndex As Integer _
) 
Visual Basic (Usage)Copy Code
Dim instance As SheetView
Dim column As Integer
Dim filterString As String
Dim filterItemIndex As Integer
 
instance.AutoFilterColumn(column, filterString, filterItemIndex)
C# 
public void AutoFilterColumn( 
   int column,
   string filterString,
   int filterItemIndex
)

Parameters

column
Column index
filterString
Filter string
filterItemIndex
Filter item index

Remarks

The third parameter, filterItemIndex, checks whether the index is 0 or not; it checks whether the "All" item is selected (which is always the first item in the list and so always has index of 0) or not. This uses an index (integer) as opposed to a boolean because it is exposed as a public method and the column may or may not be selected. If the filter is a single item (or none), then the string in the second parameter, filterString, is enough information. The filterString parameter should be an exact match for one of the strings returned by the GetDropDownFilterItems method for the column.

Example

This example filters the second column.
C#Copy Code
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Columns[2].AllowAutoFilter = true;
