Can we apply a column filter to perspective table column from a check box binding to column filter?

When I click click checkbox boolean condition is true , but filter does not apply to column.

Property Binding : ../flex-container-equipment-config-header/checkbox-assigned-equipment-filter.props.selected.

I think you'll find that the column filter property is read only and can only be set by the column filter dialog.

A couple of options:

  • Add the filter to your data binding. It will refresh the table when the checkbox changes state.
  • Create the data binding on a custom property of the table. Bind the table's data property to the custom property with an expression or expression binding structure. This is useful if you wish to avoid an expensive database query every time the checkbox is edited.

Another tip:

  • To avoid the ../flex-container-equipment-config-header/checkbox-assigned-equipment-filter.props.selected nonsense, create a custom property in the view's CUSTOM properties - say chkAssignedFilter.
  • Bind the Assigned Equipments value to chkAssignedFilter and set it to bidirectional.
  • Now you can read that with a simple view.custom.chkAssignedFilter property binding. And this binding won't break if you move the (table) component in or out of a container.
