Disable Full Text Search

[Chris]

We recently upgraded to the 2016 Q1 Telerik control library to address some bugs in previous versions.  However, the new full text search in the RadGridView has broken an existing feature within our product.  I need to be able to either turn this off completely, or change the keyboard mapping to something other than Ctrl+F.  How can this be done?  Thanks.

Hello Chris, 

You can check the following help article - Keyboard Command Provider. There you can find an example how to make the changes for the behavior when pressing the Enter key. You can use the same approach for the Ctrl+F combination. It would be something similar to the following code snippet:

public class CustomKeyboardCommandProvider : DefaultKeyboardCommandProvider
   {
       private GridViewDataControl parentGrid;
       private DefaultKeyboardCommandProvider defaultKeyboardProvider;
       private CustomKeyboardCommandProvider customKeyboardProvider;
       public CustomKeyboardCommandProvider(GridViewDataControl grid)
           : base(grid)
       {
           this.parentGrid = grid;
       }
       public override IEnumerable<ICommand> ProvideCommandsForKey(Key key)
       {
           List<ICommand> commandsToExecute = base.ProvideCommandsForKey(key).ToList();

           if (key == Key.F && Keyboard.IsKeyDown(Key.LeftCtrl))
           {
               commandsToExecute.Clear();
           }

           return commandsToExecute;

       }
   }

Please let me know if you need further assistance on this.

Hello Yoan,

it would be much more interesting to add a CanUserSearch property. We already have the IsFilteringAllowed, IsManipulationEnabled, CanUserFreezeColumns, CanUserSortColumns, ...

Hello Patrick,

Indeed, your suggestion is reasonable. I've created a feature request in our system. You can follow it in our feedback portal - Add a property to control whether RadGridView's TextSearch functionality is enabled.

You did not explain how to turn the feature off!  I have tried, both in XAML and in code (c#) to set ShowSearchPanel = false but the search panel is still displayed.

How can I hide the panel?

Hello Mark,

I tried to replicate your issue in a small sample project, however, the search panel is correctly hidden at my end when using the R1 2019 version of the controls.

Could you please have a look at the attached project and let me know if I'm missing something of importance? If possible, please specify how I can update the project so that the issue is reproduced and I will gladly assist you further.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation. I look forward to your reply.
