Select all Rows based on search

[Claude]

I would like to select all rows based on the text typed in the search box or create a collection  of rows that contain the search text. 

 

For example if the user types 'cat" into the search box. is there a way to auto select those rows so the user could drag and drop.  I have the drag and drop working for selected rows, just wanted a new way  in selecting rows.

Hello, Claude,

In order to achieve your requirement, you should enable the multiple selections in RadGridView by setting the MultiSelect property to true. Then, you can handle the SearchProgressChanged event. From the e.Cells collection you can get the GridSearchResultCellInfos and mark the respective RowInfos as selected. Please refer to the following code snippet:

this.radGridView1.MultiSelect = true;
this.radGridView1.SelectionMode = GridViewSelectionMode.FullRowSelect;
this.radGridView1.MasterView.TableSearchRow.SearchProgressChanged += this.TableSearchRow_SearchProgressChanged;

 private void TableSearchRow_SearchProgressChanged(object sender, SearchProgressChangedEventArgs e)
 {
     GridViewSearchRowInfo searchRow = sender as GridViewSearchRowInfo;

     if (e.SearchFinished && searchRow.CurrentSearchResultsCount > 0)
     {
         foreach (GridSearchResultCellInfo cellInfo in e.Cells)
         {
             cellInfo.RowInfo.IsSelected = true;
         }
     }
 }

More information about searching functionality is available here: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/gridview/rows/search-row 

I hope this helps. Should you have any other questions please let me know.
