[dtp-connect-dev] Adding Support for Filtering

[rcernich@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hey all,

Just wanted to run this proposal past you all.

To the generic connection profile...
Add properties to the DB connection profile which specify filter
properties.
Add a property to store then enablement state of the filter (e.g. on or
off).

To the UI...
Expose these properties to the user through a wizard page in the new wizard
and a property page in the properties dialog.

To the driver definition...
Add a property to the driver definitions to store a default filter setting
(if possible).
Add a property to the driver definitions to specify the default enablement.

The filter would be set on the ConnectionInfo object at the time of
creation depending on the enablement status.

We may need to improve the way property notifications are handled by the
framework.  It would be nice if the modification notification highlighted
specific properties that changed.  This would be necessary so the model
could be updated in response to filter property or filter enablement
changes.

Let me know what you think.
