Text Wrap and Search as you type

[Bob]

Hello,

We are using the search as you type feature described in your blog:

http://blogs.telerik.com/stefandobrev/posts/10-01-18/highlighting-inline-search-for-radgridview-for-silverlight.aspx 

However, we noticed that once the HighlightingTextBlock was applied to the cell, the TextWrapping attribute was lost.  Can you please provide an example of the correct way to support TextWrapping with the search feature?  Thanks for any help.

Hi  Bob,

The technique illustrated in the blogpost uses the the highlighting textblock of Jeff Wilcox . I believe the right way would be to modify the code from his blog in order to enable text wrapping.

All the best,

Hi Pavel,

I got this to work by looking at the parent cell and column when the template was applied in the HighlightingTextBlock.  Hopefully, this is the right way to solve this issue.

/// <summary>
/// Override the apply template handler.
/// </summary>
public override void OnApplyTemplate()
{
    base.OnApplyTemplate();

    // Grab the template part
    TextBlock = GetTemplateChild(TextBlockName) as TextBlock;

    if (TextBlock != null)
    {
        if ((this.Parent != null) && (this.Parent.GetType() == typeof(Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.GridViewCell)))
            TextBlock.TextWrapping = ((Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.GridViewCell)(this.Parent)).Column.TextWrapping;

        if (LinkStyle)
            TextBlock.TextDecorations = TextDecorations.Underline;

        // Re-apply the text value
        string text = Text;
        Text = null;
        Text = text;
    }
}
