add a search bar

[Ignacio Ortuzar]

Hi there!!..

I want to know if exist any way to add a search input and show de results in the file explorer?

The idea is that I can manage the results files in the same way that I can manage the files inside the folders.

Thanks!

Hi,

In your scenario you could use this approach:

• attach a handler to the ExplorerPopulated event:
  

  protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
      RadFileExplorer1.ExplorerPopulated += new RadFileExplorerGridEventHandler(RadFileExplorer1_ExplorerPopulated);
  }

• Implement the handler as follows:
  

  void RadFileExplorer1_ExplorerPopulated(object sender, RadFileExplorerPopulatedEventArgs e)
  {
      // Filter the items by value set to the textbox;
      e.List = e.List.Where(fbi => fbi.Name.Contains(TextBox1.Text)).ToList();
  }

For your convenience I have attached a demo project to this thread. I hope it helps.

All the best,
