• addFilterEditorSubmitHandler

  com.google.gwt.event.shared.HandlerRegistration addFilterEditorSubmitHandler(FilterEditorSubmitHandler handler)

  Optional notification fired when the user performs a filter using the Filter Editor. Useful for applying additional criteria not available in the filterEditor. Note that it is often easiest to do this with the SearchForm attribute, which requires no code.

  May fire as criteria values are being edited if filterByCell or filterOnKeypress is true, otherwise will fire when the user clicks the filter button or presses the Enter key while focus is in the Filter Editor.

  Use event.cancel() to cancel the default behavior - you must cancel the default behavior if your code is going to call filterData(), setCriteria() or any other API that affects the criteria applied to the grid.

  The criteria parameter contains the current criteria applied to the grid including edits the user has just made using the Filter Editor and those applied with the advanced filtering dialog. A call to getFilterEditorCriteria() does not include the advanced filtering criteria.

  If you wish to access the criteria applied to the grid without picking up any edits to the Filter Editor, use getCriteria() instead.

  Developers may wish to perform a filter using the Filter Editor values from code running outside the standard filterEditorSubmit flow. For example, if you wanted a confirmation dialog to be shown before filtering was performed, you would cancel the default behavior as described above, but then need to replicate the default behavior once the user confirms that they want to proceed. To replicate the default behavior, just call:

     grid.filterData(grid.getFilterEditorCriteria());
    

  or, to ensure the specified autoFetchTextMatchStyle is picked up

     DSRequest request = new DSRequest();
     request.setTextMatchStyle(grid.getAutoFetchTextMatchStyle());
     grid.filterData(grid.getFilterEditorCriteria(), null,
          request);
    

  Parameters:

  handler - the filterEditorSubmit handler

  Returns:

  HandlerRegistration used to remove this handler
