Grid View test if full-text search row is visible

[erwin]

The added functionality to the full-text search in 2017.2 is really cool, especially the new close button.

An intuitive way to close the full-text search was on my to-do list for quite some time.

However, I noticed that the AllowSearchRow Property stays true even if the search row was closed/hidden by the user.

What's the best way to test if the full-text search row is currently visible?

So far, I have extended the grids context menu like this:

 

var searchRowMenuItem = new RadMenuItem("Full-text Search (Ctrl+F)");

            searchRowMenuItem.Click += this.searchRowMenuItem_Click;

            searchRowMenuItem.IsChecked = this.AllowSearchRow;

Hello Erwin, 

Thank you for writing.  
 
The AllowSearchRow property controls whether the search functionality in RadGridView is enabled. When you click the close button of the search row, it just hides the row. However, the user is allowed to show the search row again at a later moment by pressing Ctrl + F. The close button just manipulates the MasterView.TableSearchRow.IsVisible property. It is not expected to disable the search functionality.

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.
