information about listening events when a column-based select-input filter changes

At the moment I'm not using datatables but I want to switch it asap. I would like to ask a question to understand if a feature is present.
I wanted to ask a question about listening to an event fired when a filter changes and I've found the answer in the blog post Highcharts Integration - Asynchronous-Charting.Thank you. Now can I ask a more detailed quesion about this event? I want to use the Individual column searching (select inputs) (I don't want to search a string among all columns), so... is that filter event listening method going to work also in my case?

    The individual column search with select inputs should work regardless of using Highcharts. I'm guessing you are asking about this event from the blog you linked:

    table.on('draw', function () {
    // Set the data for the first series to be the map returned from the chartData function
    myChart.series[0].setData(chartData(table));
});
``

This code from the select input search example will cause the `-event draw` event to fire:

```js
                        column
                            .search( val ? '^'+val+'$' : '', true, false )
                            .draw();
                    } );

    Does this answer your question?

    Hi Kevin! Thank you for your quick answer: so fast! I'm a bit lost, yeah the event should be that one and I guess that should be the answer.. but let me try somehow... I'm a bit lost... I'll let you know asap, I have to understand how to run the code, a moment, thank you again

    Ok, I understand what you write: that is the answer, at least in theory. I'll do the needed testing soon but I assume it will work. Thank you
