FilterBuilder display of Boolean field.

[stonebranch1]

Is there someway to change the display of a Boolean value w/r to the FilterBuilder?

Currently it renders as a "3-way" checkbox with the word "Value" next to it which makes it a bit awkward. It is also hard to distinguish between the "unchecked" and "unset" values. Can that be disabled so that there is only 2 modes (true/false, aka checked and unchecked)?

Can the text of "Value" be set somehow if I wanted it to say "True" instead?

For example could I somehow change it to a choicebox of something like

True
False
Is Null

You can look at the Nested Filter example in the showcase and select the "Member G8" field to see what I am referring to.

I am using the latest and greatest RC build (SNAPSHOT_v8.3d_2012-09-24)

Thank You Kindly.

We agree the 3-way toggle doesn't make much sense in the FilterBuilder where you can just remove the clause. We will just switch to a two-way toggle (leaving IS_NULL as a separate operator) and get rid of the "Value" label.

Thanks for the prompt response!

Sounds great. Thanks for the response, much appreciated.

We've made improvements in the SC 8.3d branch to eliminate the "Value" text and set the default value as true--these changes should be in the next nightly build.

However, as for the other issue, we're not seeing a 3-way checkbox in the Nested Filter sample you mention. One example of a 3-way checkbox is in the FilterEditor of the bottom ListGrid in the sample SmartClient_Explorer.html#dateRangeFilter. If you click on the checkbox above the G8 column in the FilterEditor, and then start hitting the space bar to toggle its state, you'll notice it goes through 3 separate states--unset, false, and true. However, if you do the same thing with the checkbox from a G8 rule in the sample you mention, Nested Filter, you'll see it only cycles through two states--true and false.

So, we haven't made any change to correct a "3-way checkbox" since we're unable to reproduce that part.

Thanks

Thank you for the improvements. You are right about the 3-way checkbox, I think I got mixed up when testing the ListGrid filter vs the FilterBuilder, so that was my mistake.

Once again, thank you kindly.
