Enable Filter on TableField [message #1105927]

By default table pages have filtering enabled. When I add a TableField to a form, the sort, and view options are available from the context menu, but filtering is not available. How do I enable filtering for fields that extend AbstractTableField?

Can you provide more information about your Scout Version, your Eclipse Runtime, the UI (Swing, SWT, RAP) ?

I verified it myself, and it works. I see the menu and I can filter.

You can check the code: StatisticsField

Using Scout Kepler with Rap.

I found the issue. I was embedding forms as the detail form of a page and using an AbstractWrappedFormField without implementing a FormHandler. Once I added a FormHandler and called it after setting the detail/inner form, the filters were enabled. I'm not sure why this is the case or if this is expected behavior, but it was an easy enough fix.

Nice to hear this.

After reading your post, I had a look in a Scout Application I am working on, to see how we did it. You are absolutely right (about setting the FormHandler and so on).

I updated the WrappedFormField page including a small code snippet. I hope it helps.
