Hi Gregory, 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support team. 

We have analyzed your attached sample and we could able to reproduce your scenario. The button clicks events were not triggered for the buttons in the GridFindReplaceDialog dialog. The Button click event should be triggered to perform the actions OnButtonClick. We have hooked the events in GridFindReplaceDialog.Designer.cs file to achieve your requirement. Please make use of below code and modified attached sample, 

Code snippet 

 

this.ReplaceAllBtn.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.ReplaceAllBtn_Click); 

this.ReplaceBtn.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.ReplaceBtn_Click); 

this.cancelbtn.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.cancelbtn_Click); 

this.findallBtn.Click += this.findallBtn_Click; 

this.findnextBtn.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.findnextBtn_Click);

Hi Gregory, 

Thanks for your update. 

The display position of the GridFindReplaceDialog can be set to center of the Parent Form by setting the FormStartPosition as CenterParent. Please make use of below code and sample, 

Code snippet 

// Displays the Find and Replace Dialog box. 

void gridGroupingControl1_TableControlCurrentCellKeyDown(object sender, GridTableControlKeyEventArgs e) 

{ 

 

    if (e.Inner.Control) 

    { 

        if (e.Inner.KeyCode == Keys.F || e.Inner.KeyCode == Keys.H) 

        { 

            GridFindReplaceDialog f = new GridFindReplaceDialog(this.gridGroupingControl1, "Metro"); 

            f.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterParent; 

            f.ShowDialog(); 

        } 

    } 

}

Hi Arulpriya
Thank you with quick feedback
That means you can not do anything like that

  GridFindReplaceDialog ChildForm = new GridFindReplaceDialog ();
             ChildForm.MdiParent = this;
             ChildForm.Show ();

To be in the area of Form1 ();

Gregory

Hi Gregory, 

Thanks for the update. 

In our previous update , we have provided the solution to show GridFindReplaceDialog  in center of the form. You can show the GridFindReplaceDialog by setting parent form for GridFindReplaceDialog. Please refer to the modified sample and let us know if you have any other queries, 

 

Code example: 

GridFindReplaceDialog f = new GridFindReplaceDialog(this.gridGroupingControl1, "Metro"); 

f.MdiParent = this.MdiParent; 

f.Show();

  Hi Piruthiviraj

GridFindReplaceDialog f = new GridFindReplaceDialog(this.M_RECEIPT_NON_STOCK_gridGroupingControl, "Metro");
                    f.MdiParent = this.MdiParent;
                    f.ShowDialog(); //f.Show();



Why does not work the method 
f.ShowDialog();
How can i do
ShowDialog() in this.MdiParent;

Hi Gregory, 

Thanks for the update. 

 

As per your scenario, you are trying to use GridFindAndReplaceDialog as a child form of Form2. If you try to show the GridFindAndReplaceDialog by using “ShowDialog” , it will throws the exception “Form that is not a top-level form cannot be displayed as a modal dialog box. Remove the form from any parent form before calling showDialog”. The error tells the MDI child form is not a top-level form. Because we still need to interact with parent form. So the MDI child form can’t be shown as a modal dialog box. Please refer to the below forum, 

https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/b58e65a4-a88b-4106-bb6b-89478771e81d/call-an-childform-in-mdiparent-form-using-showdialog?forum=winforms  

 

The recommended way to show the MDI child form is using the “Show” method instead of using “ShowDialog”.  

 

Please let us know if you have any other queries.
