New 13.1d feature MultiPickerItem and SetFilterItem

[Blama]

Hi Isomorphic,

I noticed MultiPickerItem and SetFilterItem by coincidence in the 13.1d docs and tried it - I think it's a great feature that has a lot of advantages to MultiComboBoxItem and multiple:true-SelectItem.
Would you already like feedback on it, or is it too early for that?
If so, could you add a sample for it to the showcase? That's easier than using it manually in existing samples.

Thank you & Best regards
Blama

Hi Isomorphic,

as there has been no answer for more than a month I'm wondering if you have seen this thread?

Thanks for the bump - we'll definitely be adding a sample of SetFilterItem/MultiPickerItem, and we'll update here when we do.

Hi Isomorphic,

could you add the samples, so that one can give feedback here?

Hi Blama, by the way, testing it seems simple as:

isc.ListGrid.create({
    ID: "supplyList",
    width:500, height:300, alternateRecordStyles:true,
    dataSource: supplyItem,
    fields:[
        {name:"SKU"},
        {name:"itemName"},
        {name:"description"},
        {name:"category", filterEditorType: "SetFilterItem"}
    ],
    autoFetchData: true,
    showFilterEditor: true,
    filterOnKeypress: true,
    fetchDelay: 500
});

Hi claudiobosticco,

of course, but when I first tried it, it was nowhere ready designwise and I think Isomorphic is not ready for feedback yet, otherwise it would be in the samples.

Best regards

Blama I didn't tried it before, now seems pretty good:

Hello Isomorphic, while trying SetFilterItem for a FormItem in a DynamicForm, I noticed that its height is reduced in respect to a SelectItem (on the right):

// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Remote Data Example

isc.DynamicForm.create({
    top: 25,
    width: 500,
    numCols: 4,
    autoDraw: true,
    fields: [
        {name:"categoryName", title:"Category", editorType:"SetFilterItem",
         optionDataSource:"supplyCategory", changed:"form.clearValue('itemName');"
        },
        {name: "itemName", title:"Item", editorType: "SelectItem",
         optionDataSource:"supplyItem",
         getPickListFilterCriteria : function () {
            var category = this.form.getValue("categoryName");
            return {category:category};
         }
        }
    ]
});

hi Claudio - SetFilterItem and MultiPickerItem weren't being scaled with density - we've fixed both for tomorrow's builds, dated March 21 or later.

Thanks. Will it be supported to use it as searchForm of a grid? I'm trying it, but I see some inconsistent behaviour.

Actually in the showcase seems to work nicely, so I must check better in my application.

Chrome on MacOS

while playing with a SearchForm with a SetFilterItem, used as a searchForm for a grid, I managed to get this error:

18:07:39.942:TMR9:WARN:Log:TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'getVisibleRows')
Stack from error.stack:
    cons.eval(<no args: exited>) on[ListGrid ID:isc_ListGrid_1] @ [no file]:3:18

for now I don't know how to reproduce it, does the error alone says something to you?

This looks like something that might have happened if the SetFilterItem was in the middle of some operation, and either the grid hosting it was destroyed, or the grid changed fields such that the SetFilterItem was no longer needed. Or some similar major upheaval happened, like hiding the entire FilterEditor.
