How to filter a TwinColSelect?

Is there a way to Filter items on a TwinColSelect?

Found a way:

1. Create a BeanItemContainer and set in the TwinColSelect, called the field 'container'.
2. Add the Items to the container.
3. Configure the TwinColSelect:
- .setItemCaptionPropertyId("your field on the item");
- .setItemCaptionMode(Select.ITEM_CAPTION_MODE_PROPERTY);
4. When filtering:
- container.removeAllContainerFilters();
- container.addContainerFilter( myTwinColSelect.getItemCaptionPropertyId(), "the filter", true, false);

It works.

Can you please share some code for this

s b: Can you please share some code for this

I am trying the following and dont seem to be working. would appreciate if anyone can respond with a solution

public class Vaadinprj2Application extends Application {

	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
	private TwinColSelect selection;
	private TextField filter;
	private VerticalLayout ver;

	@Override
	public void init() {

		final Window main = new Window();
		filter = new TextField();
		selection = new TwinColSelect("TWINCOL NAME");
		ver = new VerticalLayout();
		selection.setColumns(8);
		filter.setColumns(7);
		filter.setImmediate(true);
		selection.setImmediate(true);

		setMainWindow(main);

		List<String> mystrslist = new ArrayList<String>();
		mystrslist.add("HARPAL");
		mystrslist.add("MUSTAN");
		mystrslist.add("SHANMUKHA");
		mystrslist.add("HARI");
		mystrslist.add("RAVI");
		mystrslist.add("RAGHU");
		mystrslist.add("KHUN");
		mystrslist.add("CHARAN");
		mystrslist.add("SAMEER");
		mystrslist.add("AMAR");
		mystrslist.add("ANANT");

		final BeanItemContainer<String> beans = new BeanItemContainer<String>(
				String.class);

		beans.addAll(mystrslist);

		selection.setContainerDataSource(beans);
		selection.setItemCaptionMode(TwinColSelect.ITEM_CAPTION_MODE_EXPLICIT_DEFAULTS_ID);

		filter.setTextChangeEventMode(TextChangeEventMode.LAZY);

		filter.addListener(new TextChangeListener() {

			/**
			 * addContain
			 */
			private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

			public void textChange(TextChangeEvent event) {
//				beans.removeAllContainerFilters();
				System.out.println("THE VALUE IS " + event.getText() + " ID: "
						+ selection.getItemIds().toString());
				beans.addContainerFilter(selection.getItemCaptionPropertyId(),
						event.getText(), true, false);
			}
		});

		ver.addComponent(selection);
		ver.addComponent(filter);
		main.addComponent(ver);

	}
}

You listener does not work, this one does :

filter.addTextChangeListener(new TextChangeListener() {

      /**
       * addContain
       */
      private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

      public void textChange(final TextChangeEvent event) {
        beans.removeAllContainerFilters();
        beans.addContainerFilter(new Filter() {

          @Override
          public boolean passesFilter(Object itemId, Item item) throws UnsupportedOperationException {
            if (((String) itemId).toLowerCase().contains(event.getText().toLowerCase())
                || ((Collection) selection.getValue()).contains(itemId))
              return true;
            else
              return false;
          }

          @Override
          public boolean appliesToProperty(Object propertyId) {
            return true;
          }
        });
      }
    });

Hope that help !
