Hello

Is there a way to search as you type in grid without using filter descriptors?

Hi Vlad

I need to convert the cells grid data to string and find if the cell contains the search value

And display only these rows.

Hi Vlad

The problem in this demo that I need to know the Type and the properties

And I don’t know this.

Is there another solution?

How can I run over all the cells and get there Values?

Hello,

 You cannot get all cells since the grid is UI virtual component - UI elements will be created only for currently visible data.

Hi Vlad

I noticed that I can get all the values per column

var columnValues = column.DataControl.GetDistinctValues(column, true);

Maybe I can filter by these values?

Is there sample for this?

Best regards

Hi Ehud,

 You already have access to all values using Items collection. Just cast it to your item type and access desired property.
