TcxCustomListView.GetSearchString Method

Returns the incremental search string of a list view control.

Declaration

function GetSearchString: string;

Returns

Type
string

Remarks

The GetSearchString returns the sequence of characters typed by the user when he or she performs the quick search by typing the name of the item to locate. Each time the user types a character, it is added to the search string. A timeout period of less than a second is associated with each character that the user types. If the timeout period elapses before the user types another character, the search string is reset. If the system finds a match, it selects the item and, if necessary, scrolls it into view.
