In order for the Search panel to be displayed continuously in DevExpress's XtraGrid control, the following steps must be followed.

• 1 - "Run Designer" opens.
• 2 - "OptionsFind" opens from the left panel.
• 3 - The "AlwaysVisible" property is set to "True".

If the "AlwaysVisible" property is set to "False", no panel will appear on the grid. You can show the search panel with "CTRL+F".

An example of setting it as code is given below..

myListGridView.OptionsFind.AlwaysVisible = true;
