Hi ,
There is no way that you can set list as datasource for a dataview.
What I am understanding from your question is that you want have a common filter for multiple data grids. You can try the following methods.
- You can create a object with all the filters as attributes and based on the values in that attributes you can retreive and set the list of objects to the data grids with specific Xpaths.
- You can always use this widget and give common class name for all the grids which will allow the widget to filter out the values in all the grid simulatneously. This will remove the dependency of using a data view as custom search.
Hope this helps!
