DataViewBase.SearchControl Property

Gets the search control. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v24.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Grid.Core

#Declaration

[Browsable(false)]
public SearchControl SearchControl { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Description
SearchControl

The search control for the GridControl or TreeListControl.

#Remarks

The SearchControl property returns the GridControl‘s search control and allows you to obtain or specify its properties.

If you use a standalone search control associated with a grid, set DataViewBase properties (ShowSearchPanelFindButton, SearchPanelFindMode, etc.) to configure the search control.

#Example

This example shows how to set a custom search control instead of the built-in Search Panel.
