PivotControl Filter is not set after RestoreLayout

created 2 years ago

Hello dear DevExpress team,
Unfortunately we have a small problem after switching from DevExpress 20.1.14 to 22.1.5

Attached is a small sample project. Repro steps:

  1. Debug the project
  2. Click the LoadLayout button
  3. The Filter is not Change to "Michael" (Only if the filter was previously empty)

Our PivotControl layouts are quite old and still contain the PreFilter (see T1071091) property. It only helps to reset the filter before loading the layout.

Best regards, Michael

Hello Michael,

Thank you for the project. It was helpful.

When a layout is restored, ActiveFilterString has a higher priority than the old PreFilter property. Thus, it will not be restored if ActiveFilterString is assigned. So, I recommend that you clear ActiveFilterString before restoring the layout:

C#
simpleButton2.Click += (s, e) =>
{
    pivotGridControl1.ActiveFilterString = String.Empty;
    pivotGridControl1.RestoreLayoutFromXml(xmlFilePath);
};

This will allow you to restore the layout with the old PreFilter. Then re-save this layout with the ActiveFilterString property. I recorded a video to illustrate this.

Please try this and let us know your results.

      Hello Igor, thank you very much for the detailed information and the video! It makes sense to me now =) I already use pivot.ActiveFilter.Clear() before loading the layout and it works great.

      Have a nice weekend, Michael
