the DropDownValidate searches as "Starts With".
I want to search %Like%. Is there anyway i can do this?
Hi,
I'm not absolutely certain I understand what you are asking. DropDownValidate doesn't have any "Search" functionality.
My best guess is that you are talking about the AutoComplete funtionality which filters the list based on what you type. If that's what you mean then what you can do is set the AutoSuggestFilterMode property on the Column to Contains;
this.ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Column["My Column"].AutoSuggestFilterMode = AutoSuggestFilterMode.Contains;
thanks a lot Mike,
This is what i was looking for.
When a dropdown in a grid has a style added of DropdownValidate and when we start typing, the default search on the Valuelist is applied as Startswith.
This helped me in searching for CONTAINS.
Thanks a lot for the prompt response..
