Hello, I've a grid with advanced filtering and in some cases I add filters programatically like this:
function createFilters(criteria) { var colSettings = $grid.igGridFiltering("option", "columnSettings"), filters = []; for (var i = 0; i < colSettings.length; i++) { var e = colSettings[i]; if (e.allowFiltering) { filters.push({ fieldName: e.columnKey, expr: criteria, cond: "contains", logic: "OR" }); } }); $grid.igGridFiltering("filter", filters, true);}
The problem is that the default value for the 'add condition' drop down is "ALL" and not "ANY". So if the user opens the dialog and applies it without changing anything, the results will change (I build the filters using OR logic, and the dialog specifies AND logic).
I want to be able to change programatically the selected value in 'add condition' drop down to "ANY". How can I do this?
Hello intecomp,
Thank you for posting in our forum!
To change the selected value for the applied condition in the advanced filter dialog you can use the filterDialogContentsRendered event, which fires after the content of the dialog are rendered and ready to be manipulated (http://help.infragistics.com/jQuery/2015.1/ui.iggridfiltering#events:filterDialogContentsRendered ). In that event handler you can get the select element from the dialog that determines the applied condition (Any or All) and set its value.
For example:
filterDialogContentsRendered: function (evt, ui) {
var dialog = ui.dialogElement;
var conditionList = $(dialog).find("div.ui-iggrid-filterdialogaddconditionlist > select");
conditionList.val("any");
}
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding this.
Best Regards,

Hello Maya. That works and does exactly what I need, however it would be nice to be able to set it as a grid setting so that I shouldn't have to set it every time the dialog opens.

Hello Maya, thanks for following up with the case. I could solve my scenario without any further problems. However I still think of this as a workaround and believe that there should be a setting in igGridFiltering.
I’m just following up to see if you’ve been able to resolve your issue. If you have any questions or concerns or if you need further assistance please let me know.
There’s no specific option for the selected value of the condition’s dropdown, however there is one for defining a custom template for it:
http://help.infragistics.com/jQuery/2015.1/ui.iggridfiltering#options:filterDialogAddConditionDropDownTemplate
You could set a conditional template for that option so that the “ANY” element is selected by default. For example:
filterDialogAddConditionDropDownTemplate:"{{if '${text}'=='ALL' }}<option value='${text}'>${text}</option>{{else}}<option value='${text}' selected='true'>${text}</option>{{/if}}"
Let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.
