The following code snippet illustrates how to highlight the “text” string followed by one or more occurrences of the “a”, “b” and “c” letters in the “Column1” and the number “50” followed by digits between 0 and 9 in the “Column2” among the filtered items.

C#

e.CustomHighlighting = new Dictionary<string, string>() { { "Column1", "text[a-c]+" }, { "Column2", "50[0-9]" } }
e.CustomHighlighting.StringToRegularExpression = true;
