I simply assign the input values to some properties of the filter whenever they change. Cheers, Ralf.

using this approach the filter functions still need to reference the view to get optional filter parameters correct. For example, if you want to filter based on a user inputed text field you can just do this: collection.filterFunction = filter.filterFunction (textFld.text); since the filter functions can not accept parameters. In thinking about this I am wondering if this would work instead: FilterClass.filterByName(collection,textFld.text); Then within the class, the static method "filterByName" will handle assigning a filter function to the collection and using the " textFld.text" to filter. Is there something that I am missing with this approach. - Kevin On May 24, 2007, at 2:02 PM, Ralf Bokelberg wrote: I'm using a FilterClass, which holds just the filterFunction and some optional ways to configure the filtering. Every collection, which needs filtering, gets an instance of this FilterClass by assigning collection.filterFunction = filter.filterFuncti on; Cheers, Ralf.
