With VCL 13.1, you can optionally prohibit value items from being added to filter drop-down windows. To accomplish this, use the following View properties:
- Filtering.ColumnAddValueItems (in Table Views or Banded Table Views);
- Filtering.RowAddValueItems (in Card Views);
- Filtering.ItemAddValueItems (in Layout Views).
These settings are applied to all grid View items. To control this functionality in individual grid View items, use an item's Options.FilteringAddValueItems property.
In addition, the TcxGridFilterValueList.Load method has been extended with the AAddValueItems parameter, allowing you to use the new functionality when manually populating a filter drop-down list.
