Disable auto-submit of Search toolbar

[Jakub]

Hi,

is there an option to disable the auto-submit of the data from search toolbar of the grid? It's not very efficient in our case with a remote datasource to query the DB for data on every change. We'd like to disable this feature and submit on enter/click.

Hi Jakub,

We don't have API methods or configuration options dedicated to enabling the described behavior in the built-in search bar. So the way to go would be the following:

1. Use a template in the Grid's toolbar and add a textbox in the template. This textbox will be used for filtering the Grid's data instead of the built-in search bar.
2. Handle the textbox' "keydown" event.
3. In the "keydown" handler check whether the Enter key is pressed.
4. If Enter is pressed, filter the Grid's dataSource by calling its filter method passing the value (the user input) of the textbox to the method.
