RadGridView: loop through cells

[Evelyn]

I would like to go through every cell in a RadGridView and see if its value is equal to a string.
It should work like a find tool (ctrl + f). The user type something and I try to find what was typed in the cells. Is there anyway of doing this? Or a easiest way? 

if(text == cell.value)

{

    //do whatever I want

}

Hi Evelyn,

Please note, that RadGridView utilizes UI virtualization mechanisms. Thus it initializes visual items only for those items that would fit in the current view port. To read the cell values for all of the items we recommend to do that on the data-level. This can be achieved through the Items collection of RadGridView. You can see the code snippets below:

foreach (var item in this.grid.Items)
            {
                foreach (var column in grid.Columns.OfType<GridViewBoundColumnBase>())
                {

                    if (text ==  column.GetValueForItem(item).ToString())
                    {
                        //do whatever you want
                    }
                }
            }

I hope this helps.
