Search Grid functionality/API like in Angular Data Grid
posted

Will there be a Search functionality for the Winforms Ultragrid like you have implemented it for the Angular Data Grid?

All post regarding search an item/text in the Grid are very old, like 7 or 11 years. Now I stumbled over Angular Data Grid functionality and the nice Demo:

And I wonder, will something like this ever be implemented?

    It would be easy enough to implement something like this yourself by simply looping through the grid rows/cells. The only part that might be tricky would be the text highlighting within the cell. You could put the cell into edit mode and select the matching text, but highlighting the text without using selection would be a problem. There's really no way to do that in Windows Forms without either using the FormattedTextEditor for the grid cells, or else drawing the text yourself. And neither of those is trivial or ideal.
