Hi Soren,
Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.
Query1: “How to do I get text in a searchfield otherwise, or how to fix this issue? ”
From your query we suspect that you want to perform Search operation in Grid. We suggest you to define the Search value in Toolbar property of Grid to render Search text in Grid Toolbar and perform search operation. Refer our online sample and UG documentation for your reference
Or if you want to perform filter operation in Grid column we suggest you to enable AllowFiltering property of SfGrid and we can filter the particular column using FilterByColumn method. Refer our UG documentation for your reference.
If above solution does not resolve your query kindly get back to us with more details about your requirement.
Query2: “The rendereing of the headertext is a bit random. How do I set this properly”
