Get Visible Items in RadGridView When Full Text Search and Search Filtering is Disabled

Environment

Product	RadGridView for WPF
Version	2023.2.718

Description

How to access the search results (row data items) in RadGridView, when search as you type is executed and the IsSearchFilteringEnabled setting is False.

Solution

You can create a new SearchFilterDescriptor object and use it in a new QueryableCollectionView instance. This will allow you to manually filter the original data collection and get the needed results.

C#

	var searchPanel = this.gridView.FindChildByType<GridViewSearchPanel>();
	if (searchPanel != null)
	{
		var dataMembers = this.gridView.Columns.OfType<GridViewBoundColumnBase>()
			.Select(col => SearchDataMemberDescriptor.FromColumn(col))
			.OfType<SearchDataMemberDescriptor>()
			.ToList();

		var descriptor = new SearchFilterDescriptor(dataMembers, FilterOperatorType.Positive, this.gridView.SearchStateManager);
		descriptor.FilterValue = ((SearchViewModel)searchPanel.DataContext).SearchText;
		var qcv = new QueryableCollectionView((IEnumerable)this.gridView.ItemsSource);
		qcv.FilterDescriptors.Add(descriptor);
		
		var foundItems = qcv.OfType<MyRowItemInfo>();
	}
