Filter Row - Initial values [message #1698878]

Hi,

I would like to set the initial value of a filter when showing the NAT table for the first time. This should not be a static filter and the filtervalue should be visible in the filter row in the same way it is there after entering the value manually. I would need that for Text and Dropdown.

Thanx
Thomas

FilterRowDataProvider#setDataValue()

before opening should do the job

Hi Dirk,

thank you for the fast reply.

This works great for Stringfields but I still have a problem with Dropdowns.

Lets assume I have a dropdown in col. 3 with the values {"A", "B", "C", "D"}

Neither
filterRowHeaderLayer.getFilterRowDataLayer().getFilterRowDataProvider().setDataValue(3, 0, new Integer(2) );
nor
filterRowHeaderLayer.getFilterRowDataLayer().getFilterRowDataProvider().setDataValue(3, 0, new String("C") );

will work. The value is set to the Field but I receive an errormessage:

SCHWERWIEGEND: Error on applying a filter

It's an NPE. So is there a display converter registered for that column? And if so, why does it return null?

When are you setting the values? You need to set them AFTER NatTable#configure() as it immediately triggers applying the filter. If you set the values before, the NatTable instance is not initialized.

Thank you Dirk it works. Setting the values after the configure() statement did it !
