I have currently have a GridView that contains a list of queries. I need to be able to search through the GridView, and run a specific query based on the text data in a specific column. There are currently enough rows of data in the grid that there is a scrollbar.
Any way to do this without having to set a filter on the grid column I want and select the first row?

Thank you for contacting us.
Some further clarification will be required to be able to advise you best. Please let me know what are the actions to execute after you find the particular element. In case it is to simply click on that element this could be easily obtained with a coded step.
Please elaborate further more on the exact scenario you need to play.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

The idea was to select a row from the gridview with text in a specific column, and then to click a button to run an application command based on the selected row.
We decided to make a unique column in the view, and we use the element that's click on to search for the unique text.
Although for future reference, what would be an easy way to do this with a coded step? I was having a hard time finding anything on it.
Here is an example code against our grid demo page. It finds the first row which contains "Opel" and then finds a button inside that row.
RadGrid grid = ActiveBrowser.Find.ById<RadGrid>("ctl00_ContentPlaceholder1_RadGrid1");System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);grid.Refresh();foreach (HtmlTableRow row in grid.MasterTable.AllRows){ if(row.InnerText.Contains("Opel")){//This is only an example of how to find a button inside of the row (i.e. there is no button in the demo gird hence this piece of code will fail).HtmlInputButton myButton = row.Find.ById<HtmlInputButton>("HtmlInputButton").MouseClick(); break;}}Let me know if that helps.
