Object Type	Path to AlwaysVisible
AdvBandedGridView	.OptionsFind.AlwaysVisible

CardView	.OptionsFind.AlwaysVisible
GridView	.OptionsFind.AlwaysVisible
LayoutView	.OptionsFind.AlwaysVisible
TileView	.OptionsFind.AlwaysVisible

Remarks

Set the AlwaysVisible property to true, to prevent the Find Panel from being hidden by an end-user.

C#

gridView1.OptionsFind.AlwaysVisible = true;

VB.NET

GridView1.OptionsFind.AlwaysVisible = True

You can also prevent the Find Panel from being hidden by setting the ColumnViewOptionsFind.ShowCloseButton property to false.

Note that if the AlwaysVisible property is set to true, the close (‘x’) button is hidden, even if the ColumnViewOptionsFind.ShowCloseButton property is set to true.

If the Find Panel is hidden and the ColumnViewOptionsFind.AllowFindPanel property is enabled, an end-user can invoke the Find Panel by pressing CTRL+F. In code, the Find Panel can also be displayed via the ColumnView.ShowFindPanel method.
