WiseJ grid and filters in Kendo style

[itg-assistant]

I reallyneed to apply filters to columns like Kendo offers it nicely on their grid.

Is this feature available on WiseJ grid at all? I cannot see it.elyAlternativ, can you provide sample code to add an image to each column header so that I can build the filter forms? It's old fashioned to use search panaels on the side and I need to implement kendo column filtering (see attached screen shot)

Please indicate when this would be ready in WideJ if you are planning to include it at all.

Thanks

We are not going to add pre-built filter panels and pre-built dialogs. There are too many assumptions and it invariably they end up constraining developers too much. Also Wisej is not supposed to replace all the web component vendors, that's why it has an extremely flexible integration architecture.

For the filter feature you seek, you can add a clickable icon to the column headers and use a user popup to show a customized popup. I have prepared a small sample that goes even further, it's a simple property extender component, when you drop it on a container it will automatically extend all the columns adding  the property "ShowFilter". When the property is true, the column header will show the filter button. When pressed it shows a custom panel that can filter the table.
