GridFilter: how to explicitly set the filter values

[Christiand]

i've added to FiltersFeature.js the following:

    /**
     *  progamatically activate a filter field with data
     * @param field the field dataIndex
     * @param data the data from  from @link Ext.ux.grid.FiltersFeature.getFilterData
     */
    setFilterData: function(field, data){
        if (typeof this.view.headerCt.menu == 'undefined'){
            this.forceMenuCreation();
        }
        var filter = this.getFilterByName(field);
        var value = this.unSerialArg(data);
        filter.setValue(value);
    },


    /**
     *  format  a value from getFilterData to be set into field
     * @param data object returned from @link Ext.ux.grid.FiltersFeature.getFilterData
     */
    unSerialArg: function(data){
        var value={};
        if (data.type == 'numeric'){
            value[data.comparison] = data.value;
        }
        else {
            value =data.value;
        }
        return value;


    },


    /**
     * if the menu have not been created, force it's creation
     */
    forceMenuCreation: function(){
        var gridMenu = this.view.headerCt.getMenu();
        this.onMenuCreate(this.headerCt, gridMenu);
    }

and in my grids, I'm listening to the afterrender method and my the setFilterData method

looking into it, unSerialArg method is only for strings and int. I have not touched other data types. So you may have to improve this.
