LookUpEditAutoSearchEventArgs.SetParameters(FindPanelParserKind, FilterCondition) Method

Allows you to change how the lookup editor searches for items in its drop-down panel.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v19.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public void SetParameters(
    FindPanelParserKind kind = FindPanelParserKind.Default,
    FilterCondition condition = FilterCondition.Default
)

VB.NET

Public Sub SetParameters(
    kind As FindPanelParserKind = FindPanelParserKind.Default,
    condition As FilterCondition = FilterCondition.Default
)

Optional Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
kind	FindPanelParserKind	0	If a text entered into the editor text box contains whitespaces, the editor splits this string into separate logical blocks. This parameter specifies how these blocks are combined into a search query.
condition	FilterCondition	3	The condition according to which the editor searches for the string entered into its text box.

Remarks

The example below illustrates how to limit the search by the “Ship Country” and “Ship City” fields, and change the search condition to “Starts with…”.

C#

lookUpEdit1.AutoSearch += OnAutoSearch;

void OnAutoSearch(object sender, LookUpEditAutoSearchEventArgs e) {
    string[] fields = new string[] { "ShipCity", "ShipCountry" };
    e.SetParameters(fields, e.Text, FindPanelParserKind.And, FilterCondition.StartsWith);
}

VB.NET

Private lookUpEdit1.AutoSearch += AddressOf OnAutoSearch

Private Sub OnAutoSearch(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As LookUpEditAutoSearchEventArgs)
    Dim fields() As String = { "ShipCity", "ShipCountry" }
    e.SetParameters(fields, e.Text, FindPanelParserKind.And, FilterCondition.StartsWith)
End Sub
