Search Functionality

[Faraz Haque]

Just curious if anyone has implemented a generic "Search" functionality on grouping grid or databound grid that I can reuse.

thanks

Here is a thread on using the Find functionality in a GridDataBoundGrid.

There is no similar support for a general find in a GridGroupingControl yet. You can look for primary keys if that would be of help to you. http://www.syncfusion.com/Support/Forums/message.aspx?MessageID=26305

Hello,
We are trying to come up with our own implementation of "Search" on grouping grid. So, my question now is, if we find the cell that has mapping values, how can we set focus to that cell. I would like the expand the grouping in case its within a collapsed group.

thanks

If you have the GridRecord, you can use record.SetCurrent to set a focus to a particular field and record.

To get the GridRecord, if you have an row index in a DataTable, you can use it in the grid.Table.Reords collection to get the GridRecord.

thanks. that worked. just one last issue. now that i have the record, and i have both the column name and index where i want to position the current cell, how do i change the location of the current cell to that column within the record?

record.SetCurrent has an overload that accepts a field name.
