Need Custom Filter Box

[zmd94]

Hi, Colin.

Your extension is very great. I'm using it in my app build from AI2. Yet, it lack of important feature. It need custom filter box to be more useful.

Hope you can figure it out on how to do it.

Thanks for suggestion, I'm not sure what filter box is about.. A search box?
I consider that things like search box should not be contained in a list view component. As this is a list view component, we should keep it a container and a view of data, but not a functional system. (At least that is not what I define this component)
What's more, filtering strategy is very complex as well.

So the most doable method of filter box is:

1. listen on textbox's changing event or a submit button's click event
2. when event triggered, go through all items in the list
3. put filtered list into listview.

Yes it is like a search box. Just see this extension for the idea:

In this new feature, user will be able to define which texbox that will be the search box for that current list. Hope you got it.
