TableSearchRow textbox width

[Curtis]

Hello folks!

Is there some way to adjust the width of the textbox in the TableSearchRow?  Also, can a MaxLength be set for this same textbox?

Hi Curtis,

The following snippet shows how you can access the textbox and set the width:

foreach (var row in this.radGridView1.TableElement.VisualRows)
{
    if (row is GridSearchRowElement)
    {
        var searchRow = row as GridSearchRowElement;
        searchRow.SearchCellElement.SearchBoxWidth = 50;
        break;
    }
}

I hope this will be useful. Let me know if you have additional questions.

Thank you for the quick reply, Dimitar!

Unfortunately, your approach does not yield the results i was expecting and while i do not know exactly why, i think it's because i am not using a DataBound grid.

this.radGridView1.TableElement.VisualRows.Count = 0

thig.radGridView1.Rows.Count = 527

 

But because i have nothing in VisualRows - i can't seem to find the GridSearchRowElement.

Any thoughts?

Hi Curtis,

You need to make sure that the grid is loaded before using this code, use the OnLoad method for example:

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnLoad(e);


    foreach (var row in this.radGridView1.TableElement.VisualRows)
    {
        if (row is GridSearchRowElement)
        {
            var searchRow = row as GridSearchRowElement;
            searchRow.SearchCellElement.SearchBoxWidth = 50;
            break;
        }
    }

}

Let me know how this works for you.
