)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
text	String

A text to compare with data source records.

Optional Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
kind	FindPanelParserKind	Default

If a text entered into the editor text box contains whitespaces, the editor splits this string into separate logical blocks. This parameter specifies how these blocks are combined into a search query.

The condition according to which the editor searches for the string entered into its text box.

Remarks

The example below illustrates how to limit the search by the “Ship Country” and “Ship City” fields, and change the search condition to “Starts with…”.

VB.NET

void OnAutoSearch(object sender, LookUpEditAutoSearchEventArgs e) {
    string[] fields = new string[] { "ShipCity", "ShipCountry" };
    e.SetParameters(fields, e.Text, FindPanelParserKind.And, FilterCondition.StartsWith);
}
