QueryableCollectionView Filter on event

[Khoa]

Hi,

I want my QueryableCollectionView Filter on event which invoke this function in my mainViewModel. Under is my attempt to filter this.

 

        private async Task OnContractGroupSelectionChanged()
        {
            this.ViewModelCategory.ViewModelCategory= new QueryableCollectionView(this.ViewModelCategory.CategoryData.Where(c => c.ID== this.SectionViewModle.ID));

        }

 

As you can see, I'm "newing" / creating a new instance of the QueryableCollectionView each time I choose a section in a grid.

How can I filter the QueryableCollectionView to only show items which is equal to the SectionID without having to new up an instance of the QueryableCollectionView? I can only choose one section at once, which means each time I choose a section, the QueryableCollectionView will only show the items with the same ID as the section.  I tried to add a FilterDescriptor in my MainViewModel which should update QueryableCollectionView  in my ViewModelCategory, but my program just hangs up when I try to do that.

Hi,

Indeed, working with QCV's FilterDescriptors collection is the correct way to go. Please check the following code snippet which demonstrates how to filter a QCV:

QueryableCollectionView qcv;

        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            qcv = new QueryableCollectionView(Club.GetClubs());
            listBox.ItemsSource = qcv;
        }

        private void Button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            //filter the qcv
            qcv.FilterDescriptors.SuspendNotifications();

            Telerik.Windows.Data.FilterDescriptor fd = new Telerik.Windows.Data.FilterDescriptor();
            fd.Member = "Name";
            fd.Operator = Telerik.Windows.Data.FilterOperator.IsEqualTo;
            fd.Value = "Liverpool";
            fd.MemberType = typeof(string);

            qcv.FilterDescriptors.Add(fd);

            qcv.FilterDescriptors.ResumeNotifications();
        }

I guess that your app is hanging because you are triggering a data engine update when you add a filter descriptor. In order to overcome this, you can Suspend/Resume the notifications to avoid multiple data engine updates.

Hi, it still doesn't work...

Still freezes and hangs.

Is this because I try to invoke the filter from another viewmodel? The collection is in ViewModel2, but the MainViewModel is the one that invoke the filter add.

Hi,

The other ViewModel should not be the problem here. However, with the supplied information I can not figure out what may be the problem. May I ask you to isolate the issue in a sample project and send it to me. I will debug it on my side and will try to assist you further.
