CompositeMatcherEditor - how to add dropdowns to few column only? [message #1065248]

I am using the new CompositeMatcherEditor.
I would like to add the dropdowns not to all columns, but only to few.
The rest of the filters should be rendered as input fields.

Is it possible?

There is no new CompositeMatcherEditor. I assume you mean the new Excel like filter row.

I have never tested if it is possible to combine the new filter row with a normal filter row with input fields. Technically it should be possible by creating and using your own configuration for that filter row. The default configuration is in ComboBoxFilterRowConfiguration. You might need to register the editors in the filter row to different labels.

Yes, I mean the ComboBoxFilterRowHeaderComposite filter row. Thanks Dirk!

Seems, like it is impossible to apply an own IFilterStrategy when using the ComboBoxFilterRowHeaderComposite -
a new ComboBoxGlazedListsFilterStrategy<T> is created in ComboBoxFilterRowHeaderComposite and there is no way to change the strategy, to do own stuff when filters are applied.
If it is so - then this is really bad since the composite will only be limited to GlazedLists usage...

It is in the GlazedLists extension so it is limited to GlazedLists usage.

It does not have to - if there would be a possibility to add own Strategies - everyone could use it...

There is a lot of logic behind it as the filtering is inverse. But of course we could open the API, move the layer to core and hope that everyone knows what he/she does.

But of course we can't move the layer to core, as the default relies on GlazedLists and there shall be no dependency from core to an extension.

Feel free to open a ticket and submit a patch that doesn't break the architecture
