How to find and replace cell value in the WinForms GridControl?

Find and replace

To find a particular cell text, you can use the Find method of the GridFindReplaceDialogSink class. This class provides a default implementation of the IGridFindReplaceDialogSink. It also includes the Replace and ReplaceAll methods to replace the specified string with the given string. These methods accept the GridFindReplaceDialogSink class members that include properties like the string to be searched, the string to be replaced and the options for search criteria.

The following code examples are for Find method.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   gridControl1.Selections.Clear();
   if (this.textBox1.Text != "")
   {
     options = GridFindTextOptions.WholeTable;
     locInfo = GridRangeInfo.Table();
     frEvents = new GridFindReplaceEventArgs(textBox1.Text, "", options, locInfo);

     //To find the given text
     frDialog.Find(frEvents);
   }
   this.gridControl1.Refresh();
}

Private Sub button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles button1.Click
   gridControl1.Selections.Clear()
   If Me.textBox1.Text <> "" Then
     options = GridFindTextOptions.WholeTable
     locInfo = GridRangeInfo.Table()
     frEvents = New GridFindReplaceEventArgs(textBox1.Text, "", options, locInfo) 'find the text given 
     frDialog.Find(frEvents)
   End If
   Me.gridControl1.Refresh()
End Sub

The following code examples are for Replace method.

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  if (textBox1.Text != "" && textBox2.Text != "")
  {
     options = GridFindTextOptions.WholeTable;
     locInfo = GridRangeInfo.Table();
     frEvents = new GridFindReplaceEventArgs(textBox1.Text, textBox2.Text, options, locInfo);
     //To Replace the given texts
     frDialog.Replace(frEvents);
   }
}

Private Sub button2_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles button2.Click
   If textBox1.Text <> "" AndAlso textBox2.Text <> "" Then
      options = GridFindTextOptions.WholeTable
      locInfo = GridRangeInfo.Table()
      frEvents = New GridFindReplaceEventArgs(textBox1.Text, textBox2.Text, options, locInfo)

      'To Replace the given the texts
 frDialog.Replace(frEvents)
   End If
End Sub

The following code examples are for ReplaceAll method.

private void button4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (this.textBox1.Text != "" && this.textBox2.Text != "")
    {
       options = GridFindTextOptions.WholeTable;
       locInfo = GridRangeInfo.Table();

       //To Replace all the positions located in given text
       frEvents = new GridFindReplaceEventArgs(textBox1.Text, textBox2.Text, options, locInfo);
       frDialog.ReplaceAll(frEvents);
    }
       else
       MessageBox.Show("Search/Replace value is missing");
}

Private Sub button4_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles button4.Click
    If Me.textBox1.Text <> "" AndAlso Me.textBox2.Text <> "" Then
 options = GridFindTextOptions.WholeTable
       locInfo = GridRangeInfo.Table()

       'To replace all the positions located in given text
 frEvents = New GridFindReplaceEventArgs(textBox1.Text, textBox2.Text, options, locInfo)
 frDialog.ReplaceAll(frEvents)
    Else
 MessageBox.Show("Search/Replace value is missing")
    End If
End Sub
