CDC Software Pivotal CRM 6.0: How to get acces to SearchView.SearchData.ResultsViewControl control.

We can't modify SearchView.SearchData.ResultsViewControl in a usual way because it has an internal get accessor.
But we can use reflection.

Here is an example how to change SearchView rows text color deppending on received data.

1. Add the following dll references to your project:

• Pivotal.CommonControls.dll
• CdcSoftware.Ios.UI.dll

2. Register "OnSearchCompleted" notification event handler:

[NotificationEvent("OnSearchCompleted", Table = "Support_Incident")]
public void OnSupportIncidentSearchCompleted(object notifyParams)
{
 ...
}

3. Get DataGridView control via reflection.

CdcSoftware.Pivotal.CommonControls.ResultsViewControl resultsViewControl = searchView.SearchData.GetType().GetProperty("ResultsViewControl").GetValue(searchView.SearchData, null) as CdcSoftware.Pivotal.CommonControls.ResultsViewControl;
if (resultsViewControl != null)
{
CdcSoftware.Pivotal.CommonControls.PivotalDataGridView dataGridView = resultsViewControl.GetType().GetField("_dataGridView", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance).GetValue(resultsViewControl) as CdcSoftware.Pivotal.CommonControls.PivotalDataGridView;
}

4. Modify you want.

The full code example:

[NotificationEvent("OnSearchCompleted", Table = "Support_Incident")]
        public void OnSupportIncidentSearchCompleted(object notifyParams)
        {
            ISearchView searchView = ClientContext.ClientAPIService.GetActiveContentObject() as ISearchView;
            if (searchView != null)
            {
                //Get ResultsViewControl
                CdcSoftware.Pivotal.CommonControls.ResultsViewControl resultsViewControl = searchView.SearchData.GetType().GetProperty("ResultsViewControl").GetValue(searchView.SearchData, null) as CdcSoftware.Pivotal.CommonControls.ResultsViewControl;

                if (resultsViewControl != null)
                {
                    //Get DataGridView control
                    CdcSoftware.Pivotal.CommonControls.PivotalDataGridView dataGridView = resultsViewControl.GetType().GetField("_dataGridView", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance).GetValue(resultsViewControl) as CdcSoftware.Pivotal.CommonControls.PivotalDataGridView;
                    
                    //Attach RowPostPaint event
                    dataGridView.RowPostPaint += new DataGridViewRowPostPaintEventHandler((object sender, DataGridViewRowPostPaintEventArgs e) =>
                    {
                        CdcSoftware.Pivotal.CommonControls.PivotalDataGridView pivotalDataGridView = sender as CdcSoftware.Pivotal.CommonControls.PivotalDataGridView;
                        if (dataGridView.Columns.Contains("Status_Id@Rn_Descriptor"))
                        {
                            //Color closed incidents
                            string columnTextValue = Convert.ToString(pivotalDataGridView.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells["Status_Id@Rn_Descriptor"].Value);
                            if (columnTextValue.Contains("Closed"))
                            {
                                pivotalDataGridView.Rows[e.RowIndex].DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
                            }
                        }
                    });
                }
            }
        }
