Remarks

Set the GridView.OptionsFilter.InHeaderSearchMode property to TextFilter or TextSearch to enable built-in search boxes within the View’s column headers. Users can type text in the search boxes to filter against the columns, or search in the columns.

Data Grid - In-header search box

The GridColumn.OptionsFilter.AllowInHeaderSearch property allows you to disable header search boxes for individual columns.

The following example enables search boxes for all grid columns except the colOrderID column:

gridView1.OptionsFilter.InHeaderSearchMode = GridInHeaderSearchMode.TextFilter;
colOrderID.OptionsFilter.AllowInHeaderSearch = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.False;

To disable search boxes in all columns except for specific columns, do the following:

  • Set the GridView.OptionsFilter.InHeaderSearchMode property to TextFilter or TextSearch.
  • Set the GridColumn.OptionsFilter.AllowInHeaderSearch property to False for all columns that do not require header search boxes.

A column’s header search box is disabled if the AllowInHeaderSearch property is set to Default or True, and the GridView.OptionsFilter.InHeaderSearchMode property is set to Default or Disabled.
