Using getfilter on "onopenpage" Trigger

Dean_Axon

Hi All;

I need some guidance or maybe some idea of how 2009 r2 is dealling with this.....

I have the following code in the OnInit() and OnOpenPage() triggers of the item list page (31)

Message(GetFilter("My Filter"));

But no matter which trigger I place this code in, the message returns no value.

However, the list IS filtered by "my filter" as the returned results are filtered.

The List page itself is called from the Lookup of the "No." field on the purchase order page with the filter applied to the TABLERELATION something like this.

IF (My Field=CONST(Yes),Type=CONST(Item)) Item WHERE (My Filter=CONST(Yes))

ANY IDEAS ???? ](*,)

TIA

You can not use FlowFilter Field in this way, i.e. in table relation, you have to use SETFILTER to set Filter, Because it is not stored in record. as well as FlowFilter used to Filter Values, or calculate Fields, not for FIlter records.

you have to change the filtergroup before the getfilter command.

so for example

filtergroup(2);
message(getfilter("field on which has been filtered");
filtergroup(0);

you'll have to check the help on which filtergroup to use, the used filtergroups go up to 6 in c/side.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the 2 suggestions so far:

Uday - It works in classic client in the OnOpenForm() trigger, so i was hoping that the Page type object did the same in OnOpenPage() [-o<

Geronimo - Unfortunately this did not make any difference by using filtergroups first.

Hi Dean

In Pages you might need to use FILTERGROUP(4) to see the filter in the OnOpenPage trigger.

I don't think the role of Filtergroup in this case, Different filtergroups are used that how you are applying filter to a record pointing to the table with which you want to work.

Hey Gunner,

I've tried 1 through 6 (just for testing) and none of them gave me the results :x

Having re-read the help file, I would have expected 4 to work ???

Thanks

Dean.

Well Dean, at least it has worked for me.

How do you apply the filter before opening the page ?
If you are using RunFormLink for page this should be filtergroup 4.

Have you already checked the "About this Page"?
In tab "Filters" you should be able to see at which level the filter is placed.

Hi Dean,

may i know "My Filter" is FlowFilter or normal Field ?
