Searching for Text or a Phrase in WinGrid

This topic shows how you can find text or a phrase in your WinGrid cells. Looking for particular text in WinGrid will require iterating through each cell and checking the cell object’s Text property to see if the string exists. This topic uses the string. Contains method to perform the check. A more elaborate implementation may use more advanced pattern matches such as regular expressions. You can copy and paste this method into your application to add text searching in your WinGrid.

In Visual Basic:

''' <summary>
    ''' Finds the phrase.
    ''' </summary>
    ''' <param name="grid">The WinGrid reference.</param>
    ''' <param name="s">The string you want to look for.</</param>
    Public Shared Sub FindPhrase(ByVal grid As UltraGrid, ByVal s As String)
        For Each row As UltraGridRow In grid.Rows
            For Each cell As UltraGridCell In row.Cells
                If cell.Text.Contains(s) Then
                    'The cell must be activated first
                    cell.Activate()
                    'Cell must be in edit mode to perform selection
                    grid.PerformAction(UltraGridAction.EnterEditMode)
                    'Start the selection
                    cell.SelStart = cell.Text.IndexOf(s)
                    'For this length
                    cell.SelLength = s.Length
                    'For eye candy, make this the first visible row
                    grid.DisplayLayout.RowScrollRegions(0).FirstRow = row
                    Exit Sub
                End If
            Next
        Next
    End Sub
