Incremental Search
This feature allows end-users to locate nodes in the TreeList control by column values. To search a node by a column value, focus a data cell within the appropriate column and type the search text. If the TreeList control contains a node whose column value starts with the search text, the node is focused.
The image below shows the result of pressing the ‘re’ characters. The first ‘Requisitioning Development’ value is located and the node containing it is focused:
The ‘l’ character is pressed after typing ‘re’ and focus is moved to the ‘Reliability Analysis Section’ record:
You can continue searching by the search text. To search forward and backward, press the Ctrl+Down Arrow and Ctrl+Up Arrow keys respectively.
Notes
By default, incremental search is disabled. To enable it, activate the tree list’s OptionsBehavior.IncSearch option.
While incremental search is enabled for the entire control, searching by a particular column can only be performed if the column’s Options.IncSearch option is active.
If the tree list’s OptionsBehavior.IncSearchItem property is not specified, the search is performed by the currently focused column.
