Find functionality in GridControl ( Ctrl + F)

[Ravichandran]

Hi,

I want to implement the find ( Ctrl+F) functionality in GridCotrol. Pls let me give your thoughts/ideas.

If I press Ctrl + F a small dialog window has to popup as in Notepad. Then if search string is there in grid then cursor has to point to that cell.

Thanks

Hi Ravi,

To implement the find ( Ctrl+F) functionality in a grid, you need to handle the CurrentCellKeyDown event. Here is a code snippet.

private void grid1_CurrentCellKeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
{
if(e.KeyValue == 70 && e.KeyCode == Keys.F)
{
e.Handled = true;
fr = new GridFindReplaceDialogSink(this.grid1);

frDialog = GridFindReplaceDialog.Instance;
frDialog.SetState(this.fr, "", false);
frDialog.ShowDialog();
}
}

Here is a sample.

Let me know if this helps.

It is working fine but is there any way to restrict or remove the vales displayed in combobox (Column only,Whole table and Section only) I just want only one option "Whole Table".

And also is there any way to disable the Replace button bcos we dont need that for our application.

Hi Ravi,

Use this code snippet to hide the replace button and remove combobox item in a GridFindReplaceDialog.

fr = new GridFindReplaceDialogSink(this.gridDataBoundGrid1);
frDialog = GridFindReplaceDialog.Instance;
frDialog.SetState(this.fr, "", false);

//For diable the replace here
foreach(Control c in frDialog.Controls)
{
if(c.Text.IndexOf("place") > -1)
c.Visible = false;
if(c.Text.IndexOf("Find") > -1)
c.Click +=new EventHandler(c_Click);
//Remove the ComboBox Select Item........
if( c is ComboBox)
{
if( c.Name == "comboBoxSelection" )
{
ComboBox combo = c as ComboBox;
System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection sc = new System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection();
sc.Add("Whole Table");
combo.DataSource = sc;
}
}
}
frDialog.ShowDialog();

Here is a modified sample.
