Remarks

Set the AlwaysVisible property to true , to prevent the Find Panel from being hidden by an end-user.

C#
VB.NET

csharp

gridView1.OptionsFind.AlwaysVisible = true;

GridView1.OptionsFind.AlwaysVisible = True

You can also prevent the Find Panel from being hidden by setting the ColumnViewOptionsFind.ShowCloseButton property to false.

Note that if the AlwaysVisible property is set to true , the close (‘x’) button is hidden, even if the ColumnViewOptionsFind.ShowCloseButton property is set to true.

If the Find Panel is hidden and the ColumnViewOptionsFind.AllowFindPanel property is enabled, an end-user can invoke the Find Panel by pressing CTRL+F. In code, the Find Panel can also be displayed via the ColumnView.ShowFindPanel method.
