ListGrid FilterEditor for a column should allow only specific range of values.

[jessgarcia]

Hi Support Team,

On a
listGrid.setShowFilterEditor(true);

How can I customized the editor for a specific column that should allow only entering a specific range of values?

Thanks

Hi jessgarcia,

ListGridField + setEditorProperties, the parameter is a FormItem-subclass with a validator.
Even better, if this is a client/server setting: Define a validator on the field in your .ds.xml-file for the DataSource the ListGrid is using.

Hello,

Actually that is not the answer I need. I need a validator for "FilterEditor" of the cell, like a mask for the Filter.

E.g.
On a grid I have a column, that shows integers, I want that user can only type numbers in the Column Filter of the grid.
Or a column that only shows IP's, the user should only be allow to type [0-9a-f.] chars in the column filter of the ListGrid.

That way user should not attempt to filter by values that do not even exists.

Thanks,
Jessica

Hello,

I need a validator for "FilterEditor"

So you need to use ListGridField.setFilterEditorProperties.

Sorry yes, I overread the setShowFilterEditor(true). So use the API michalg gave and a FormItem with a validator (or a SelectItem, if you know the list of values upfront).
If the validator approach does not work, try a setEditorValueParser() to null out unwanted values.

For IPs, you could try a TextItem with setMask()

Hi MichalG and Blama,

Thanks for your tips.
I resolve it with listGridField.setFilterEditorProperties(TextItem.setKeyPressFilter("regex"))
