Customizing the List of Filter Items

You can customize the text of the default filter items in the drop-down filter list. The items that are displayed in the drop-down filter list are column filter definitions. You can customize the text of those by changing the value of the AllString, BlanksString, and NonBlanksString properties.

Using Code

Create a row filter and set the filter strings.
