Fixed combo filter value

Suite and Optimus Suite 5
#1

Dear Support,

Combo filters are populated by column value. How can I poplate combo filter independently?
I mean I want to show fixed values in the combo even the combo value does not appears in the column. How can I achieve that?

Thanks in advanced,

You can use “onCollectValues” event. Please find more information here docs.dhtmlx.com/doku.php?id=dhtm … lectvalues

Thank you Olga,
It works good.

Is there also a possibility to populate combo filter before the data loading (loadxmlstring)?

Thanks in advanced,

It possible to do with “onCollectValues” event as it called only after all rows are loaded. As a work around you may create custom filter and add complex html into the header.

One more question about combo-box,
How can I assign item pairs to a combo filter? I mean;
OnCollectValues accepts one dimensional array but like to add value and the label separately:
Forexample:
“1”,“One”
“2”,“Two”
…
…

Is that possible?

#6

It not possible to do with “onCollectValues”. It would be much easier to add custom select box to the header and add necessary options.

#7

It didn’t solve my problem.
After the filtering it collects combo-filter regarding to standard functionality.
How can I disable onCollectValues event for a certain combo-filter? I want to control that functionality.

Thanks

You may attach “onCollectValue” event tot the grid and control it:

grid.attachEvent(“onCollectValues”, function(index){
if (something_true())
return [“one”,“two”,“three”]; //options for select filter
else
return true; //default processing
});
