FilterController Members

Represents a ViewController descendant that contains the FullTextSearch and SetFilter Actions.

Constructors

Name Description
FilterController() Creates an instance of the FilterController class.

Fields

Name Description
ControllerActiveKey static Specifies one of the keys from the ActionBase.Active collection of a Controller‘s Controller.Actions. By default, this field value is “Controller active”. You can use this field when working with the ActionBase.Active collection. Inherited from Controller.
FilterCriteriaName Returns the name of the item in the Criteria collection of the current List View’s CollectionSource. This item is updated each time a new filter is selected via the FilterController‘s Filter Action. By default, this attribute is called “ListViewFilter”.
FullTextSearchActionId Holds the FilterController.FullTextFilterAction‘s identifier.
FullTextSearchCriteriaName When the FilterController.FullTextFilterAction is used to filter a List View, a criterion is passes to the CollectionSourceBase.Criteria dictionary of the List View’s Collection Source. This dictionary requires that each criterion must be accompanied by a description. The FullTextSearchCriteriaName constant holds a description of criterions passed to the CollectionSourceBase.Criteria dictionary by the FullTextFilterAction.
ViewIsAssignedReason static Specifies the Controller.Active list’s reason that indicates whether a View is assigned to the current ViewController. Inherited from ViewController.

CustomBuildCriteria Occurs when the FullTextSearch Action is executed. Allows you to create a custom CriteriaOperator that will be used by the FullTextSearch Action, to filter the current List View.
CustomGetFilters Occurs when the FilterController is activated. Allows you to specify the Application Model‘s Views | <ListView> | Filters node, containing the filter definitions to be used by the FilterController‘s SetFilter Action for the currently processed List View.
