WebGrid also supports column action customization for more advanced scenarios, such as adding new commands or displaying predefined filter menus, similar to Windows Explorer. Use the client-side event OnColumnAction for this function.

This release features more extensibility and greater control over WebGrid’s functions and behaviors with more client-side events. For example: the OnExportContextMenu client-side event lets you invoked when the export contextual menu displays. The OnBatchUpdateError is invoked when one or more records fail to update during a batch update. This allows you to implement custom processing on the failed records.
Since its initial release, WebGrid has provided predefined filter types that lets users easily perform filters from the WebGrid user interface. Some of the supported predefined filters are greater than or equal to, greater than, equal to, like, between, empty, null , and more. Try the live demo
Often times, the predefined filter isn’t sufficient to meet more complex requirements that involve multiple expressions in a column. WebGrid introduces an advanced column filter that enables developers to write their own expressions per column.
The advanced filter expression must be compatible with ADO.NET Expression. Furthermore, the advanced expression text will not be displayed in the WebGrid user interface. Some scenarios where advanced filter can be useful are predefined filtering from custom context menu interface or custom filtering from column action interface.
