Question

Hi I have a devexpress grid on the form. I enable the incremental search on one of the columns. But I find I need to click the column header each time when I perform one search. Is there a way to simulate such header or column click in grid control?

I also try in gridcontrol_keydown event to set the focused row, but this one only works for once, after performing one search, I need to click the column header or the column again, otherwise the incremental search doesn’t work anymore.

Thanks!

The column (or cell) click is required only to set focus to the column under which you want to search data. It is possible to focus a column programmatically. Use the ColumnView.FocusedColumn property.
