    GridColumn
    .OptionsFilter .AllowInHeaderSearch

    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.
