Is it possible to make a grid.setFilter in a hidden column?
Thank

Everything in a hidden column is already hidden, so it doesn't make sense to use a filter to decide what to show or hide. Can you explain better?

If it could make sense, I want to apply a getObj ("XXX"). Grid.setFiler (1, YYYY);
if column 1 is visible no problem, but I do not want that column to appear.
If column 1 is hidden setFilter does not work.

Thank

Sorry, I just don't understand why you would want to do this.

I don't know, if this is what you want:

We have a column in our grid which has a normal (not invisible) field, which contains the filter data. To make the column invisible, we just set the column width of the column to zero.

That is exactly what we have done, too. From what I understand
that it would be nice to be able to filter hidden fields. It's more I believe that all possible APIs should be applicable to hidden fields
Thank you very much Dieter

Hi Jose,
only a hint: What we do with our "hidden" column is to make filtering possible for all information in the subfile. Therefore we write a concatenated string into the field in the hidden column. This string contains all information of all columns. So we can apply the filter api on this single field. For the user it seems as he can filter alle columns with a single filter field.
For our "hidden" column we always use column number 0. So the filter api knows, in which column the filter is.

Sorry for my bad English but i fear my Spanish is even worse.
