Thinking Out Loud

That's great - nice touch and simple for beginners. Some users find the filters a little too complicated, so this new feature will really help. Well done.

Hallelujah!  Thanks for implementing (www.devexpress.com/issue=S90935) and my discussion (with myself) here: community.devexpress.com/.../92857.aspx

This functionality, as you know, needs to be in EVERY data component:  XtraTreeList, XtraVerticalGrid, XtraReports, XtraXtraReadAllAboutIt - on and on...this is a MUST.

Thanks DX!!!

The drop down needs to be MRU (if not already) and also have the option of removing the MRU items (x on the right) that's in 10.2.

FYI

Well, let's go for comment #3 (out of excitement) - I hope this search control is also stand-alone (reminded after re-reading my forum post) so that we can attach the search capability to any control. I'm sure it will as the filter control etc. evolved to stand-alone controls.  Hope sooner vs. later with the reduced release sched.

Deep breath -- back to work! :)

This is excellent news - well done guys!

Looks awesome.

Question...if we already have our own search "toolba" which is a DXBar on top of an XtraGrid...can we hook in to get similar results?

Is this a sample app that might ship with DX 10.2.x?

Great...thanks. Looking forward to the release

This will be a very helpful feature for my users. I think it's a lot more intuitive than the auto-filter row, and the highlighting is a great addition.

You did this on purpose didn't you.... Just to make me look like a liar ... perhaps you are listening ... :-)

Good work Ray - this is an excellent improvement and very much appreciated.

Great ray, that is definately something that will be used in my application. As Simon mentioned, some users find Filtering just a tad too complicated, this will be a great value-add to my application.

I would also like to point out that WinForms has been getting the love, just there finesse features instead ;) Great work

Neat little thingy, now give us the serious new stuff of WinForms :)

I hope this does search in visible columns only - would be kind of confusing to an end user to see rows without any highlighting.

Awesome feature, I hope that the Ctrl + F shortcut key is changeable, as I currently use this shortcut to query the DB.

This is great I have been doing something like this manually.

How exactly does it work though?

What happens if the end user has already applied filters on columns? Does this search work on top of those filters or does this search wipe out the existing filters?

Robert Fuchs: yes, it is.

Peter Thorpe: It will be combined with existing filter.

e.g. if you have filter by "Amount > 1000", final filter will be

"Amount > 1000 and (col1 like '%text%' or col2 like '%text%' etc)"

Excellent - beginning to look like WinForms wasn't forgotten after all. This is very nice (and of course will need to be implemented in the WPF/SL grid too otherwise it's another reason to remain with WinForms forever (I know you just can't win eh?)

doh!

Just spent a couple of days providing a similar feature.

Seriously though, this looks good.

ASPxGridView please take a hint!

Great stuff... This volume is going one of the best of

all times features wise.

Mike,

A few thoughts:

1) If you clear the quick filter will it also clear the existing "filter"?  Hopefully it will just restore it

2) Not sure what the "find" button is for, seems like the filtering is automatic.

3) Would be neat to NOT have to assign columns but have a second mode where we could assign Types, for example, automatically include all columns with bound type of String.  In other words include all text columns in one fell swoop.  And as R.F. said, option to search VisibleColumns or AllColumns?

4) I'd like to see this integrated into a single search box just like in Windows and Mac.  Have the X as a button in the buttons collection so it shows on the right edge of the search box.  The X out in left field is odd, if that's to hide the search "bar" then maybe an up arrow on the right edge or something?  And as discussed, Find and Clear are not necessary, they should be integrated inside the search box itself.

My $.02 - keep up the great work - innovating! (and listening to your loudest customers) :)

Neal:

1) Find filter is not affected by columns filter.

2) Find button (or <enter> key) required for server mode or large datasets

3) You can control which columns are used for find filter (but it still restriced to visible columns)

4) You can implement your own search box. For example, using xtrabars or ribbon. Basically, all you need is call  view.ApplyFindFilter("text");

This looks awesome! Thanks! :D

Sweet!  This will make my users happy as well.

Will this feature also be available for DXGrid?

Great, this will improve user exp. a lot. Good work
