Filter appointments/Binding to CollectionView

[Karsten]

Heya,

I need to filter appointments by their status, specifically the user should be able to select multiple statuses and appointments that have a status that is in that list should be shown.

As far as I can see the sfSchedule control does not support filtering itself, so I am using a CollectionView with a filter function. This does generally work, but due to the nature of the Filter I need to call Refresh on it after the selected statuses changed to have it reevaluate the filter. This does, however lead to the control displaying no controls at all. After some testing I found out that just calling Refresh causes it.

I got it to work by using an ObservableCollection that is created from the CollectionView, but I'd like to have a cleaner solution.

Any ideas?

Heya,

thanks for taking the time to answer.

As far as I see the only thing this would really do is not using a CollectionView at all and filter manually, which, granted, would also work in this simple case.

The end result is not far different from what I currently do while it may be a bit cleaner, though.

It is also not using binding and only one status is selectable at any given time, but those are minor issues as the change for those is simplistic.

Unless someone else has an idea (that directly uses a CollectionView) I will think about using a variation of this or just stay with the current one.
