One of the features is that the Infopanel provides access to the BrowseDialogForm as well as the BrowseDialog control. The results are shown in a ListView which already has an Incremental search ability that you can take advantage of. Just add you an InfoPanel that has the text box then manually execute the incremental search on the populated results list and there you go. Before you ask....maybe by the end of next week worst case the following week

Hi Trent, Is there a way to do an incremental search in the current listview control on a winform? Edhy Rijo

There are two methods on a ListView that support this. You can call the FindNearestItem method or the FindItemWithText method. This should get you what you are looking for.

Just add you an InfoPanel that has the text box then manually execute the incremental search on the populated results list and there you go. Did this ever make it in? Is it documented anywhere? My user wants the textbox to incrementally search the results list exactly as you described. I have the InfoPanel withthe textbox, now I am lost. Also, how to I programatically execute the search, I found the "Search" method in the class browser but could not figure out how to use it just from that. User wants the results list prepopulated.

However, I went ahead and added a property on this exposed object giving direct access to the browse results list. After that, you just call the FindTextItem method to produce an incremental search. Here is the write-up that will appear in the help, but I will do another build later today or tomorrow that will include this for you. The BrowseDialogWindowReference has been available within the framework for a long time. However, it was a little cumbersome to get directly to the browse results list view which was the most common object that was sought after via this reference. A new property called BrowseResultsListView has been added to the exposed BrowseDialogWindowReference allowing much easier access to this list.
