Hi..
Is there any way to implement an incremental search field or combobox in the grid.
So a user can Type in 'Sm'  and the Grid will locate the first column value of 'Sm'
and when they type 'Smith' it will locate 'Smith'
thanks in advance..

Hi Jon,

This functionality is not supported out of the box, but it may be possible to achieve an effect similar to what you describe.

I think it may be possible to implement this by populating the combobox with values from your data source and using those for autocompletion. Whenever the combo value changes, you can generate a new custom filter description that will make the grid display only items whose first column value starts with the value typed in the combobox. For details on using a custom filter description see this example.

Hi Vlad,

What I am really refering to is a search as you type feature like what is available in the standard WPF listbox when IsTextSearchEnabled is set to true.

So that when the grid has focus and the user presses a key the row beginning with that key is selected.

Hi Kavan,

Unfortunately this is not supported in the current grid version. We will do our best to provide support for text search as soon as possible.

any update on incremental search feature?
it is very helpful if you could implement incremental search that is similar to devexpress grid,
they also have a built in record navigator which is in sync when you sort or filter the contents of the grid
