Search-Options
This property affects the way the information stored in the Grid control is searched. No search is done until the
Search-Text property is set.
The argument passed to this property is the group item GRID-SEARCH-OPTIONS defined in
isgui.def. Before using that item, it must be initialized with the INITIALIZE Statement. The following variables or conditions can be set to affect the search behavior:
GRID-SEARCH-FORWARDS
When set to true, the default, the information is searched forwards, otherwise the information is searched backwards.
GRID-SEARCH-WRAP
When set to true, the default, the search does not terminate when the last cell (or the first cell in the case GRID-SEARCH-FORWARDS is set to false) is reached, but automatically continues from the first (or last) cell until the starting cell is reached.
GRID-SEARCH-IGNORE-CASE
When set to true, the default, a case-insensitive search is performed.
[ GRID-SEARCH-MATCH-ANY | GRID-SEARCH-MATCH-LEADING | GRID-SEARCH-MATCH-ALL ]
GRID-SEARCH-MATCH-ANY | A substring search is performed. This is the default. |
GRID-SEARCH-MATCH-LEADING | The search succeeds when the data begins with the searched text. |
GRID-SEARCH-MATCH-ALL | The search succeeds only when the data matches the searched text exactly. |
[ GRID-SEARCH-VISIBLE | GRID-SEARCH-HIDDEN | GRID-SEARCH-ALL-DATA ]
GRID-SEARCH-VISIBLE | |
GRID-SEARCH-HIDDEN | The search affects only the hidden data put in the cells by the program with the Hidden-Data property. |
GRID-SEARCH-ALL-DATA | The search affects both visible and hidden data. |
GRID-SEARCH-SKIP-CURRENT
When set to true, the current cell is skipped and the search starts from the next one. The default value is true.
GRID-SEARCH-MOVES-CURSOR
When set to true, the cursor is automatically moved to the cell containing the searched text. The default value is false.
GRID-SEARCH-COLUMN
When set to a value greater than zero, the search is performed only in that column. The default value zero means that all columns are to be searched.
