FilterMenuTemplate Not Updating After Dynamic Value Change
Environment
Product | Grid for Blazor |
Description
I have a custom FilterMenuTemplate
for a column where a slider is shown. Although filtering works as expected, the <span>
within the FilterMenuTemplate
that is supposed to show the current selected value does not update when the slider value changes.
Cause
The FilterMenuTemplate
does not refresh automatically when the value bound to a control within it, such as a slider, changes dynamically.
Solution
To resolve this issue, encapsulate the content of the FilterMenuTemplate
in a separate Razor component. Then, refresh this component upon any value change in the Slider. This approach ensures that the displayed value updates dynamically to reflect the current selection. Follow the steps below to implement this solution:
-
Create a separate Razor component (for example,
CustomFilterMenu.razor
) that will contain theFilterMenuTemplate
content, including the slider and the span displaying the selected value. -
In your
CustomFilterMenu.razor
, define the necessary parameters and logic to handle the value change and update the display. -
Use this component within the
FilterMenuTemplate
of the desired column in your Grid. -
Ensure that any value change in the slider triggers the component's refresh to update the displayed value accordingly.
