Disable auto filtering in Simple / SimpleWithMenu mode

Hi Radzen team,

We are using RadzenDataGrid with FilterMode.Simple / FilterMode.SimpleWithMenu.

Right now, filtering is triggered automatically while the user is typing. We would like to know whether there is a supported way to disable the automatic filtering behavior while still keeping Simple filter mode.

Our goal is:

  • keep Simple or SimpleWithMenu

  • keep the built-in operator menu UI

  • do not run filtering on every keystroke

  • only apply filtering on Enter, Tab, or when the input loses focus

We know FilterMode.Advanced and custom FilterTemplate can be used as alternatives, but in our case we want to keep the existing built-in Simple filter UI and menu behavior.

Questions:

  1. Is there currently any built-in option to disable auto filtering in FilterMode.Simple or FilterMode.SimpleWithMenu?

  2. If not, would you consider adding a property for this, something like:

    • AutoFilter="false"

    • or an option to apply filters only on change / blur / enter

  3. If this is not currently supported, is there any recommended approach that preserves the same built-in UI?

We tried increasing FilterDelay, but that only delays the automatic filtering and does not truly disable it.

This would be very helpful for server-side grids where filtering on every keystroke can cause unnecessary requests and a poor user experience.

Thanks.

There is no way to achieve this at the moment however we will do our best to add it in one of our next updates.
