RadGridView: Databind to or manipulate the FullTextSearch

[Martin]

How the heck do i databind or manipulate the FullTextSearch Text ??

I've tried doing perfectly normal / sane / obvious databinding in XAML like this: 

<telerik:RadGridView TextSearch.Text="{Binding MyTextProperty}">

but that doesn't work - maybe because its not the correct property -- can't find it in documentation or as property on the radGridView instance..

I've also tried figuring out the binding example from this Forum called https://www.telerik.com/forums/bind-full-text-search-to-custom-textbox but failed to do so.. 

Why is the FullTextSearch String property not exposed in a normal behavior like with a DependencyProperty ???????

Why is this so hard ?

Why are the SearchPanel hardcoded instead of exposing a customizable panel ??

eg: If i want to add a button that clears all Search Filters , i need to make ugly hacks :(

found the answer by pure luck ...

using this obscure command design pattern, you are able to change the Search-Text in the RadGridView:

public void DoSearch(string text)
{
     var grid = /* reference to RadGridView control */;
     var searchBytextCommand = RadGridViewCommands.SearchByText as RoutedUICommand;
     searchBytextCommand.Execute(text, grid);
}

Hello.

If you use mvvm and implicit styles my example will be helpful.

The key to Search Text implicit style is to go to telerik:LocalizationManager.ResourceKey="GridViewSearchPanelTopText" and check it out.

Thanks
I'd like to create my own SearchPanel with a Textbox myself - because i want more controls for the GridView, eg: Clear Filter button + various checkboxes..

The Example you've made changes the Textblock in front of the TextBox.

I want to access the Full Text Search textbox / string property.

I'm glad you found it.
If you want your own custom textbox, you can add controls and functions in the style :)
