Custom Filter Support in AutoFilterTableHeader

Postby infn » Tue Dec 30, 2008 3:27 am

Hi,

Can we have custom filter menu item on right click on AutoFilterTableHeaders?

See the attached screen shots for further details.
This feature is available in MS Excel 2007.

For example on the right click on a number column header, we should get a menu item like "Number Filter", which
should have default number filters like less than and greater than, etc and also Custom Filter similar to MS Excel 2007.

JIDE already has a TableCustomFilterEditor support. Can we integrate this with AutoFilterTableHeader?

Hi

Any updates on this? In our project this feature is very much required as there are lot of heavy tables.

Thanks

It is there already. There is a Custom entry in the AutoFilterTableHeader drop down.

Thanks,

Thanks. I have looked into the demo; but what we were asking/expecting is little bit different.
Let me be clear....

Issues with the current available filters are
1. There is No API to select/de-select required information using filters while launching the table. Currenly all the data shown to the user and he/she has to apply the filter. We would like to have API so that programmatically we can filter the data based on the context from which we are launching the tables.
2. Current filter mechanism is with Excel - 2003 Style where Custom filter comes with list and not combobox(selectable) list.

We would like to see these enhancements in the framework as it helps us a lot.

1. You can define the filter (has to be one of the known filter type as defined in FilterFactoryManager) and add to FilterableTableModel. Custom filter editor knows how to display those as long as you define the filter name and filter factory name in your filter.
2. We don't really intend to mimic what Excel is doing exactly. I think this combobox approach is more flexible and extensible. Since we don't really have a popup menu. It is kind of hard to do what Excel is doing.
