Forms - No action to enable of disable filter

[arfgh]

hey there.

When we filter the forms, in the navigation toolbar we can see how the 'filter icon' gets highlighted, and we can click on it to disable the filtered form.
I wanted to insert a button like this on my froms, but there is a problem.
The actions we can add to the button control, none of them are referring the filters.

So i want to know if we have some way to do the same with a button control.

thx in advance

Hello

Yes it can be done. Button must be in the form what must be changed as you see in the form-navigator.

Use a button
Action: Open Document/ webpage
url: .uno:FormFiltered

More in formation is in the link: Framework/Article/OpenOffice.org 3.x Commands - Apache OpenOffice Wiki

There is also a navigation form control which is a navigation toolbar attached to the form. You can show/hide certain segments.
The last button on the real navigation toolbar opens an additional grid view in a docked window. That window has its own toolbar with a dialog based filter tool. The URL for this command is .uno:ViewFormAsGrid

but still a question is missing. How to make the button grey when there is no filter ? With buttons that use actions, they get grey automatically when no proceed to use them, how to do the same ? I tried the property 'enabled' but, no.

what you mean, is there a property to put the button image as grey ? i dont think that, other than to change it for other graphic image.

Villeroy, what i want is to keep the form showing the register that i have just now, where i arrived it thx to the filter. Then, when i click again the filter to disable it, i back to the first register. What i want is to keep the form viewing the same register i arrived.

Register? You mean the position of the record cursor? Write a macro which stores the bookmark, applies the filter and then navigates to the bookmark. Catch any error for the case when the bookmark is filtered out.

[arfgh]

yes, 'record'.

Some example ?
