New to TrueDbGrid.  Is there a way to do a search or find on a column.  IE is there a FindFirst, FindNext or something like that.  Or do I start at row 1, compare  the cell contents to my Search String, move to the next row, etc... until I find it?  Using vb.Net with C1TrueDbGrid 2.0.20061.51219.

 I'm replying to a fairly old post, but it is the same problem I am facing, so I hope it will be read.

 As in the original post, I am trying to match an item in a TrueDBGrid column.

I have tried accessing TrueDbGrid.Columns(0).ValueItems.Values

This "Values" member is of Type TrueDBGrid.ValueItemCollection

The ValueItemCollection inherits  System.Collections.CollectionBase which in turn implements the IList interface which has methods for Contains(Object), Remove(Object), RemoveAt(Integer), IndexOf(Object) and so on.

Why is it that ValueItemCollection implements some of these methods of IList and not others?

Patrick, it seems your reply is saying I have to (effectively) implement my own Contains(Object) method?

Set the grid's Filterbar property to true.  This will display a search/filter row above the first row of data.  The user can search/filter by any column in the grid.
