>Is there way to implement incremental search in grid?
>Thank you.

There are two techniques for doing an incremental search on a grid. The technique InGrid uses allows you to enter text while the focus is on the grid, but the user doesn't see what they're typing and it must have a timeout period so it knows when you start a new search. This timeout period is usually controled by the setting of _Dblclick. The second technique is to use a textbox for entering the value to search on.

I prefer to use a textbox for doing an incremental search because
1. The user can see what they've typed, and even backup if they want to
2. There is no timeout period

I've got a file you can download from www.peisch.com/downloads.html called GridSearch.zip. This contains a library with my incremental search textbox class.
