Filter Panel

The filter panel displays a string representation of the filter criteria applied to a TreeList. It can contain the following buttons:

Close Filter Button - closes the filter panel clearing the filter;
Enable Filter Button - can be used to temporarily disable and enable the current filter;
MRU Filter Button - provides access to the most recently used filters that are displayed within the MRU filter dropdown list. This list can also be opened by clicking the filter text within the panel;
Edit Filter Button - opens the Filter Editor, allowing end-users to build complex filter criteria.
