TcxControlOptionsFindPanel.UseExtendedSyntax Property

Specifies if the extended syntax is available for a search string.

#Declaration

Delphi
property UseExtendedSyntax: Boolean read; write; default False;

#Property Value

Type Default
Boolean False

#Remarks

A container control‘s data controller interprets the Find box’s content as a single full-text search criterion. Set the UseExtendedSyntax property to True to parse “+” (plus), “-“ (minus), “%” (percent), “_” (underscore), and a spacebar as special characters that allow a user to set up multiple filter or search criteria simultaneously.

The UseExtendedSyntax property is synchronized with the container control’s DataController.FindCriteria.UseExtendedSyntax property.

The UseExtendedSyntax property’s default value is False.
