Hi BP, 

I got the point as you expect for result. Your question has been forwarded to our developers to know how to filter in UXGridView without picking checkBox in a list. I will let you know for the updates from them.

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for appreciate BP.

To filter data in UXGridView by inputing value in textbox without picking values in checkbox, unfortunately your scenario can't handled it yet so far. UXGridView filter show filtering by picking values from a checkbox. It is use to know what existed values in data. So when the inputed value doesn't exist in database, the UXGridView will not bind any data, then you may not get an empty data in UXGridView. 

If you still want to do the scenario, I suggest you to use TextBlock beside UXGridView to input the value that should be bind to the UXGridView.

Hope this helps.

Yes, that is exactly what i did.  I figured out how to update the querydescriptor.FilterDescriptors via MVVM using search fields next to the GridView. (see picture) Filtering is working great. Thanks!
