Defines whether the filter row is visible in the control.
Remarks
Property specifies if the row for filtering data is available to the end user in the control. The use of auto filter row speeds up the search for a particular data by writing some sort of information about any field or column. In order to apply filter, write the beginning of the value in a desired column. Control will automatically display only the data which contains the entered value.
If property is set to True, auto filter row is visible at the top of the grid. Auto filter row is the ultimate feature for browsing and searching through data displayed in a control. To search for specific value, the value has to be entered in appropriate column in auto filter row and all records with matching values appear.
If property is set to False, auto filter row is not visible. It is however possible to apply filter anyway by using Filter Builder tool. To enable this option set property AllowFilter appropriately.
The default value for this property is False.
