Re: How to apply filter to a sheet in RPG. (HSSFR4, POI, Spreadsheet)

John I think you are correct.

I had a quick look at all of my POI notes and could not see anything for
setting the filter value.

My suggestion would be to have a look on th ePOI site and see if you can
find the class required to set the filter value and add that class.

If I have some time over the weekend I will try and have a look.

Good luck

Thanks for the reply Don,
My searches aren't turning up that link, if you can, please paste in or
indicate the month in 2016. Thx.

But... This looks like the code i am currently using (found on the list

a

few years back) to 'hook-up' a filter to range.

In RPG, i can put a filter on a column range, but when user opens
spreadsheet, the filter values are all selected... there is no
subsetting.

What i want to do is, after hooking up a filter to a range (i can do

this

now)

Set the filter to certain values so when user opens sheet they only see
filtered values.

ie: -if- the filter values, when pulled down, are A, B, C, D, E and
(Blanks) [all values selected]
I would like to set the values to A, B, and C. . . thus excluding D,

E

and (Blanks).

John

I am not sure if this is what you are after but I have this from a
previous thread back in 2016 ...

For anyone who was following this thread, the following will
correctly provide all the required entries in hssf_h:

D AUTOFILTER_CLASS...
D c 'org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel-
D .AutoFilter'
D SSAutoFilter...
D S O CLASS(*JAVA
D : AUTOFILTER_CLASS)


D ssSheet_setAutoFilter...
D PR like(SSAutoFilter)
D EXTPROC(*JAVA: SHEET_CLASS
D :'setAutoFilter')
D ref like(CellRangeAddress) const

In the rpg program references as an example:

range = new_cellRangeAddress(0:10:0:4);
ssSheet_setAutoFilter(sheet:range);

The missing piece was provided by a gentleman in England
who figured out that the ssSheet_setAutoFilter needed a reference back
to SSAutofilter using the "like(SSAutoFilter)" as shown.
