Filter doesn't work with generic class

[Valentin]

Hi Telerik,

 

I'mu using a base class with all proerties which are overridable :

Public Class SelectionDetailItemViewModel
        Inherits ViewModelBase

        Public Overridable Property Children As New ObservableCollection(Of SelectionDetailItemViewModel)
        Public Overridable Property Reference As String
        Public Overridable Property Name As String

        'Other properties .....

 

I have 2 classes A & B which inherit of SelectionDetailItemViewModel. A class has children of type of A & B.

The ItemSource is bound to a ObservableCollection(Of SelectionDetailItemViewModel). For each column, the filter panel has all column values but select a value doesn't filter the RadTreeListView. There the following error :

System.Windows.Data Error: 8 : Cannot save value from target back to source. BindingExpression:Path=IsActive; DataItem='DistinctValueViewModel' (HashCode=63240628); target element is 'CheckBox' (Name=''); target property is 'IsChecked' (type 'Nullable`1') ArgumentException:'System.ArgumentException: La valeur "((Name IsEqualTo er 2d2 MC)) AND ((Name IsEqualTo <Unset>) AND (Name IsEqualTo <Unset>))" n'est pas de type "Telerik.Windows.Data.IFilterDescriptor" et ne peut pas être utilisée dans cette collection générique.

Have you got any idea ?

Thanky you.

Hello Valentin,

There are couple of issues here. The first one is that RadTreeListView doesn't supported showing objects of different types. This leads to unexpected behaviors. Instead, you will need to use the same data type.

The second issue is that there a bug in RadGridView which is the control that is inherited by RadTreeListView.

To work this around, you can use a single business model showing all the information from objects A and B. Or you can implement custom filtering and sorting. 

I hope this information helps. If you have other questions, please let me know.
