toggle between filters and searches

hi

we want to give users the ability to click a button and switch the column search boxes from filters to searches. for example if filters is selected then when they enter their criteria the grid filters out any items that do not match... and if they have search selected then when they enter their criteria it searches for the closest match

can you suggest the best way to do this please

thanks

You can inserct input into the header and depending on some condition you can implement filterBy or findCell method. Please see more information here http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxGrid/doc/articles/Data_filtering_search.html#grid_fsing
