FindItemByKeyValue from all grid pages

[fzanoni]

Hi,
Is there a way to find an item that is NOT part of the current page of the grid. (Using pager).
I'm using  "FindItemByKeyValue" but it returns NULL when the item I'm looking for is in another page.

Thanx  a lot!

Hello,

One easy method to achieve the requirement is disabling the paging when calling FindItemByKeyValue and set the AllowPaging to enabled after that.

C#:

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.AllowPaging = false;
RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Rebind();

GridDataItem item = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.FindItemByKeyValue("CustomerID", "BOTTM");
Response.Write(item["CompanyName"].Text);

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.AllowPaging = true;
RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Rebind();

Thanks Shinu, but this is not working so well.
In this case rebinding takes too much time I think, also I'm selecting the item ( item.Selected = true;) and this not working when I use this approach.
What I'm trying to achieve is search and select an item (wherever it is), and navigate to the page where the item is located. (using AJAX)
To be more specific....I'm using a modified version "goggle-like" Filtering  (http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/controls/examples/integration/gridandcombo/defaultcs.aspx).
Using:

combo.AllowCustomText = true;

combo.MarkFirstMatch = true;


If the user filters without selecting from the combo then the grid filters.
if the user selects an item from the combo then the grid searches and selects that item.
Thats it.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello Fe,

You cannot access items that are not part of current page as this items simply does not exist. RadGrid build items only for current page records from its data source.
