search on grid

[Catinat Velmourougan]

hi

I want the ctrl + F functionality on the grid.
The search should be on a single col.
How to go about this?

The grid\samples\quickstart\gridpad sample has a Find/Replace menu item on the Edit menu that implements a Find using a GridFindReplaceDialogSink class.

Here is a forum thread that discusses how to do this. It has 2 different samples in it (click the little disk icons above the post windows to get the attachments.

hi

I have implemented a simple find based on the filteredrecords concept.
Now I have a new requirement,"when a record is found a particular column of the record should become active"

I applied the following code :

//recordPos is the found record''s position

Record record = this.groupingGrid.SyncfusionGridControl.Table.Records[recordPos];
if (this.groupingGrid.SyncfusionGridControl.TableDescriptor.VisibleColumns.Contains("col1")) {
record.SetCurrent("col1");
}

But the above code just highlights the cell.The requirement is to make the cursor blink on the cell (col1 is an editable col). I also have a find modalless dialog which gets the text to be searched above the grid.

After calling GridRecord.SetCurrent, try this code:

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.Focus();
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.CurrentCell.BeginEdit();
TextBox tb = this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.CurrentCell.Renderer.Control as TextBox;
if(tb != null)
	tb.SelectAll();

The last 2 lines select all the text. If you just want the cursor at the beginning of the text, you can omit those lines.
