How can i bind my GridViewSearchPanel to my RadGridView?

[Dominik]

Hey i dont want to use the integrated version of the Searchpanel because my design has it a different possition than direktly above it.

So i want to use  <telerik:GridViewSearchPanel   /> but i dont know how to bind it to the RadGridView.

Thanks

Hello Dominik,

The GridViewSearchPanel is not designed to work as a stand-alone control. It should be part of the ControlTemplate of RadGridView and its x:Name in the template should be "PART_SearchPanel" in order to work as expected.

Instead of using the GridViewSearchPanel, I suggest you to implement custom visualization. You can use the SearchByText command in order to execute the search action manually.

string searchText = "search text";
var searchCommand = (RoutedUICommand) RadGridViewCommands.SearchByText;
searchCommand.Execute(searchText, this.gridView);
