Search in GridGroupingControl

[Albert Gao]

Is there any search capability built in the gridgroupingcontrol? If I have to do it myself, any suggestion for me to start with.

The difference between filtering and searching:

filtering - you see only the records satisfying the condition.
Searching - you locate and highlighting the satisfying record. No filter applied or filter setting is a precondtion.

Thanks,

Here is a forum thread that discusses how you can currently search a grouping grid.

Thanks for the pointer.

I checked "FindRecord" method. It returns the index of the first record. If I want to highlight all records matching the criteria, I may have to loop through the whole table. Am I right?

Thanks,
Albert

Hi Albert,

if you want to conditionally highlight records, check out also the ConditionalFormats collection.

For example:

	gridConditionalFormatDescriptor1.Appearance.AnyHeaderCell.Interior = new Syncfusion.Drawing.BrushInfo(System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((System.Byte)(192)), ((System.Byte)(255)), ((System.Byte)(192))));
	gridConditionalFormatDescriptor1.Expression = "[CategoryID]=5";
			gridConditionalFormatDescriptor1.Name = "Criteria 2";
			gridConditionalFormatDescriptor2.Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.BaseStyle = "Beige";
			gridConditionalFormatDescriptor2.Name = "Criteria 1";
			gridConditionalFormatDescriptor2.RecordFilters.Add(new Syncfusion.Grouping.RecordFilterDescriptor("CategoryID", Syncfusion.Grouping.FilterLogicalOperator.Or, new Syncfusion.Grouping.FilterCondition[] {
																																																						new Syncfusion.Grouping.FilterCondition(Syncfusion.Grouping.FilterCompareOperator.Equals, "2")}));
			this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.ConditionalFormats.Add(gridConditionalFormatDescriptor1);
			this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.ConditionalFormats.Add(gridConditionalFormatDescriptor2);

Stefan,

Thank you for pointing conditional formating. I believe the solution I am looking for is the combination of FindRecord and conditional formating. I will use conditional formating to highlight the records matching the critiria, and use FindRecord to change the first record is selected.

Thanks again,
Albert
