Add extra button to the SearchRow in GridView

[Sameh]

Hi, 

 

Is there any way to add new control (radbutton for instance) in the SearchRow? next to the gear button for example?

 

Many thanks

Sameh.

Hello Sameh,

Thank you for writing.

You can create a custom cell and use it with the search row, similarly as demonstrated here: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/gridview/cells/creating-custom-cells. Please check my code snippet below: 

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        this.radGridView1.CreateCell += radGridView1_CreateCell;

        this.radGridView1.DataSource = this.GetData();
        this.radGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;
        this.radGridView1.AllowSearchRow = true;
    }

    private void radGridView1_CreateCell(object sender, GridViewCreateCellEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CellType == typeof(GridSearchCellElement))
        {
            e.CellType = typeof(MyGridSearchCellElement);
        }
    }

    private DataTable GetData()
    {
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        dt.Columns.Add("Id", typeof(int));
        dt.Columns.Add("Name", typeof(string));
        dt.Columns.Add("Date", typeof(DateTime));
        dt.Columns.Add("Bool", typeof(bool));
        dt.Columns.Add("Description", typeof(string));
        for (int i = 0; i < 2000; i++)
        {
            for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++)
            {
                dt.Rows.Add(i, "Name " + j, DateTime.Now.AddDays(i), i % 2 == 0 ? true : false, "Description " + i);
            }
        }

        return dt;
    }
}

public class MyGridSearchCellElement : GridSearchCellElement
{
    private RadButtonElement button;

    public MyGridSearchCellElement(GridViewColumn column, GridRowElement row)
        : base(column, row)
    { }

    protected override void CreateChildElements()
    {
        base.CreateChildElements();

        this.button = new RadButtonElement();
        this.button.Text = "Button!";
        this.Children.Add(this.button);
    }

    protected override SizeF ArrangeOverride(SizeF finalSize)
    {
        SizeF s = base.ArrangeOverride(finalSize);
        RectangleF rect = new RectangleF(this.OptionsButton.BoundingRectangle.X + this.OptionsButton.BoundingRectangle.Width + this.FindNextButton.Margin.Right + this.OptionsButton.Margin.Left, this.OptionsButton.BoundingRectangle.Y, this.button.DesiredSize.Width, this.OptionsButton.BoundingRectangle.Height);
        this.button.Arrange(rect);

        return s;
    }
}

I am also attaching a screenshot showing the result on my end. I hope this will help.

Hello, can be this done from XAML only to have support for bindings? If not can it be created as feature request?

Thanks.

The scenario which is discussed in this thread is related to RadGridView for WinForms. You can check the Telerik UI for WPF Forum for a similar thread. If such is not found, you can create a new forum thread with your questions inside.
