Tableview ->SET_FILTER_ROW_VALUE then cannot change value

[Former Member]

I have the following tableview:

        <htmlb:tableView id               = "MyTableViewID"
                         headerText       = "My Table View"
                         headerVisible    = "True"
                         design           = "alternating"
                         filter           = "SERVER"
                         sort             = "SERVER"
                         table            = "<%= my_tv_table%>"
                         iterator         = "<%= my_iterator %>" />

I am using the following to preset a filter value for a table view:

              CALL METHOD CL_HTMLB_MANAGER=>SET_FILTER_ROW_VALUE
                EXPORTING
                  REQUEST      = request
                  ID           = 'MyTableViewID'
                  COLUMN_INDEX = col_index
                  VALUE        = ' '.

The table used by the tableview is filled with all possible values, and the filter is pre-filled using the above code. The displayed table correctly displays only those entries that match the pre-filled filter value.

My problem is then the user is unable to change the pre-set filter value to "refilter" the table. If you blank out the displayed filter value and press Enter, the pre-set value is just redisplayed with no change in the displayed rows.

Is there way I can pre-set the filter value AND allow the user to change or delete the filter value when the tableview is displayed?

Hi Gregory,

In which method you are writing the code to set filter values , i think you are setting every time . so even the user changes that is overwritting with the set method values.

So set the values only for firsttime (preset values ) of table rendering then every other time you have to get the filer values and set those values.

I hope this will help you
