Methods

Constructor

constructor(column: Column): FlexSheetValueFilter

Initializes a new instance of the FlexSheetValueFilter class.

Parameters
Returns
FlexSheetValueFilter

Properties

column

Gets the Column to filter.

Inherited From
ValueFilter
Type
Column

dataMap

Gets or sets the DataMap used to convert raw values into display values shown when editing this filter.

Inherited From
ValueFilter
Type
DataMap

exclusiveValueSearch

Gets or sets a value that determines whether the filter should include only values selected by the filterText property.

This property is set to true by default, which matches Excel's behavior.

Set it to false to disable this behavior, so searching only affects which items are displayed on the list and not which items are included in the filter.

ValueFilter
Type
boolean

filterText

Gets or sets a string used to filter the list of display values.

Inherited From
ValueFilter
Type
string

isActive

Gets a value that indicates whether the filter is active.

The filter is active if there is at least one value is selected.

Inherited From
ValueFilter
Type
boolean

maxValues

Gets or sets the maximum number of elements on the list of display values.

Adding too many items to the list makes searching difficult and hurts performance. This property limits the number of items displayed at any time, but users can still use the search box to filter the items they are interested in.

This property is set to 250 by default.

This code changes the value to 1,000,000, effectively listing all unique values for the field:

// change the maxItems property for the 'id' column:
var f = new wijmo.grid.filter.FlexGridFilter(s);
f.getColumnFilter('id').valueFilter.maxValues = 1000000;

ValueFilter
Type
number

showValues

Gets or sets an object with all the formatted values that should be shown on the value list.

Inherited From
ValueFilter
Type
any

sortValues

Gets or sets a value that determines whether the values should be sorted when displayed in the editor.

This property is especially useful when you are using the uniqueValues to provide a custom list of values property and you would like to preserve the order of the values.

Inherited From
ValueFilter
Type
boolean

uniqueValues

Gets or sets an array containing the unique values to be displayed on the list.

If this property is set to null, the list will be filled based on the grid data.

Explicitly assigning the list of unique values is more efficient than building the list from the data, and is required for value filters to work properly when the data is filtered on the server (because in this case some values might not be present on the client so the list will be incomplete).

By default, the filter editor will sort the unique values when displaying them to the user. If you want to prevent that and show the values in the order you provided, set the sortValues property to false.

For example, the code below provides a list of countries to be used in the ValueFilter for the column bound to the 'country' field:

// create filter for a FlexGrid
var filter = new wijmo.grid.filter.FlexGridFilter(grid);

// assign list of unique values to country filter
var cf = filter.getColumnFilter('country');
cf.valueFilter.uniqueValues = countries;
