Apologies for the misunderstanding. We will rather keep it simple
1. Applying ‘dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm tt’ format on ‘bindingcomplete’ event
2. Applying ‘dd/MM/yyyy’ instead of the above format for the filtervalue on ‘updatefilterpanel’ function.
3. Applying the filter and opening the filterpanel again is not retaining the above filtervalue in the filter panel text box.
In your recent sample you removed the formatting in the ‘bindingcomplete’ event. Could you please have a look at this sample http://jsfiddle.net/pwatdcpk/ and follow this scenario
1. Filter date column with both “02 Dec 2014” and “23 Dec 2014”
2. In the first case filtervalue retained and it’s not in the second case(23 Dec 2014)
