Parameters

Field
Type: System::Object^

The offset of the field on which you want to base the filter (from the left of the list; the leftmost field is field 1 (one)).

Criteria1
Type: System::Object^

The criteria (a string; for example, "101"). Use "=" to find blank fields, or use "<>" to find nonblank fields. If this argument is omitted, the criteria is All. If Operator is xlTop10Items, Criteria1 specifies the number of items (for example, "10").

Operator

Can be one of the following XlAutoFilterOperator constants:

xlAnd

xlBottom10Items

xlBottom10Percent

xlOr

xlTop10Items

xlTop10Percent

Use xlAnd and xlOr with Criteria1 and Criteria2 to construct compound criteria.

Criteria2
Type: System::Object^

The second criteria (a string). Used with Criteria1 and Operator to construct compound criteria.

VisibleDropDown
Type: System::Object^

true to display the AutoFilter drop-down arrow for the filtered field; false to hide the AutoFilter drop-down arrow for the filtered field. true by default.

Return Value

Type: System::Object^

If you omit all the arguments, this method simply toggles the display of the AutoFilter drop-down arrows in the NamedRange control.
