The FilterType property defines the filter's type. By default, the FilterType is exAll. No filter is applied if the FilterType is exAll. The Filter property defines the column's filter. Use the DisplayFilterButton property to display the column's filter button. Use the FilterCriteria property to filter items using the AND, OR and NOT operators.

The ApplyFilter method should be called to update the control's content after changing the Filter or FilterType property. The ClearFilter method clears the Filter and the FilterType properties.

The FilterBarPromptVisible property specifies whether the filter prompt is visible or hidden. The filter prompt feature allows you to filter the items as you type while the filter bar is visible on the bottom part of the list area. The Filter prompt feature allows at runtime filtering data on hidden columns too.
