setting a default value for the filter

[aviv ron]

i would like to assign a value to a columns filter programatically when the data is loading so that the user receives the grid already filtered. how can i do that?

another option would be to use the DomainDataSource filtering option but to sync it with the grids filter so that the user can see the grid is filtered (because when i set a filter to the domain data source there is no evidence on the grid for that)

thanks, that works... but the filter icon does not reflect that there is a filter set.

is there a fix for this? i would like the user to understand that the column is filtered by default.

Hello aviv ron,

Do you update the IsActive property like shown in the blog post? This is what you should do in order to fill-up/empty the funnel icon.

I hope this helps.

the blog post does not have any reference to IsActive in code

Hi aviv ron,

I am sorry. I meant this blog post. My mistake.

Anyway, the sample project that is attached in the "Pre-Filtering" blog post does work and does show that filters are set. You can even see this in the embedded Silverlight application which is inside the blog post.

Maybe you have changed something and that is why it is not working?

I am attaching a sample project that does work. You can take a look at it. What are you doing different to break it?

Hi Ross.

in the demo the filter is being added in the constructor.

what i do differently is get my data and according to the data add the filter, so that is being done after the grid has already been rendered to the UI... i tried the same on the demo (took the code out of the constructor to a delayed method) and then it behaves the same as my grid (icon doesn't reflect filter).

i tried to call rebind and update layout but that didn't do the job.

here is an example of what i am doing:

        public SelectRoomsPopUp()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            CaratServiceClient service = new CaratServiceClient();
            service.GetActiveRoomsCompleted += new EventHandler<GetActiveRoomsCompletedEventArgs>(
                (s, e) =>
                {
                    if (e.Error == null)
                    {

                        var room = e.Result.FirstOrDefault(rm => rm.SiteCode.Equals(App.Scope.CurrentUser.Employee.SiteCode));
                        if (room != null)
                        {
                            ColumnFilterDescriptor numberColumnFilter =
                            new ColumnFilterDescriptor((IDataFieldDescriptor)this.gridRooms.Columns[0]);
                            numberColumnFilter.DistinctFilter.DistinctValues.Add( room.SiteName);
                            this.gridRooms.FilterDescriptors.Add(numberColumnFilter);
                        }

                        gridRooms.ItemsSource = e.Result.OrderBy(order => order.FullName).ToList();

                    }
                    service.CloseAsync();
                    busyIndicator.IsBusy = false;
                }
                );
            service.GetActiveRoomsAsync();


        }
