Search Panel doesn't work for TreeListView

[Kirill]

Hi,

I wanted to use "search as you type" functionality (http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/wpf/controls/radgridview/features/search-as-you-type.html) in a TreeListView, but looks like it doesn't work for it even though it's inherited from GridView.

I tried it on a new blank project and confirmed my suspicion:

<telerik:RadTreeListView ShowSearchPanel="True"/>

doesn't show a search panel, but 

<telerik:RadGridView ShowSearchPanel="True"/>

works without any issues.

Is this intended behaviour, or can we hope for a fix?

Thank you.

Hi Kiril,

Currently, search-as-you-type functionality is supported only for RadGridView. And for the time being, it is not scheduled for implementation for RadTreeListView. Our main concern is that this feature can be applied only on the parent items since the children are not always available and the control knows basically only for the parent items. The same is the case with filtering. Thus, the behavior for searching would have seemed incomplete and not fully functional. 
I do hope you understand our concern.

I am using GridView version 2017.1.222.45 and the Ctrl F function does not seem to work for me,

I placed both to true

CanUserSearch="True"

ShowSearchPanel="True"

Hi Dharma,

What is the exact behavior that you observe? Generally, pressing the Ctrl+F would make the Search Panel visible in case it is hidden. If the panel is already visible - pressing the combination would move the focus to the TextBox so that you can start your search. Is this the behavior you observe? Otherwise, are you handling some key events at your end that might be overriding the logic?

I have attached a sample for your reference. You can try to modify it in order to represent the behavior at your end.

Have a great rest of the week.

Sorry to revive an old topic. I'm not sure how much things have changed since 6/2016, but as of now it seems entirely possible, since column filters currently do have the effect sought by the OP, except only on one column. It follows that the control should also be able to filter rows based on a filter that works across columns. Is this development still unplanned?

Hello Paul,

I'll check your question tomorrow and provide some additional information on this.

Hello Paul,

Currently, there is nothing on "TreeListView filtering features" in the planning for the next official release. If you have a concrete idea what should be added you can open a new feature request in the feedback portal where you can describe it in detail. In the meantime, you can take a peek at the Filtering article of RadTreeListView and see if this information could be helpful.

Looking at exactly the same Search function when i change the control from GridView to TreeListView. 
Is this going to be implemented?

As mentioned by my colleague, Maya, in the first answer of this forum thread, due to the way that the RadTreeListView control displays its data. This means that children will not always be visible and the control only knows about the parent items. Due to this, this functionality is not included in this control's features and it is not planned to be added in the future.
