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.
