All controls based on Content View control (News View, Blog Posts and Events View) provide an option to filter content by categories. Compared to the way this was handled in the corresponding obsolete controls, there is a small change, which involves adding the CategoryID from a database table. This is so because the necessary selectors are not implemented yet.

To enable filtering by category in any of the Content View based controls, follow these steps:

 1. Go to the Advanced Properties tab of the corresponding control.
 2. Set the BehaviorMode (or DisplayMode for Events View) property to Auto.
 3. Take the CategoryID from sf_CmsCategory database table and set it as the value of CategoryID property of the control.
