Can I construct a dhtmlxgrid column filter with checkbox control?

Let's say I have a column called "status", and it can only have the following possible values:

1) Pending
2) Processing
3) Completed
4) Error

Is there any way to create a column filter with 4 checkbox controls? Each checkbox represents one of the above status values. I will always have these checkboxes displayed even though there is no data record with this status returned in the table. The data displayed in the grid is based on what are selected in these checkboxes?

You can try to use "clist" eXcell type. Please find example here http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxGrid/samples/cell_types/pro_excell_extra.html
Note you can implement and custom eXcell type you need. http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxGrid/doc/articles/Custom_excell_creation.html#grid_cexc
Also any html can be insterded in the grid's header http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxGrid/doc/articles/Custom_content_in_header.htm#grid_ccingrid
