Find Panel

DevExpress WinForms Grid Control ships with a Find Panel – delivering an easy and straightforward way for end-users to locate information within the control. To execute a search, simply press CTRL+F, enter text within the Find box and the grid will display those records that have matching values:

The Find Panel is available within all Grid Control's Views: grid, banded grid, card and layout Views.

Various options are available to control the display and behavior of the Find Panel. You can specify search columns, choose between automatic and manual search modes, allow search strings to be highlighted within located records, etc

Ease of use and flexibility are at the heart of this new feature. If your application requires a Find Box to be positioned within the toolbar, you can disable the Find Panel in the Grid and place a text box within your toolbar and call the appropriate Grid methods to execute your search.
