ArcGIS Pro 2.9 API Reference Guide
Search(QueryFilter) Method

ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping Namespace > IDisplayTable Interface > Search Method : Search(QueryFilter) Method
A query filter
Executes a query to the underlying data source and returns rows matching the search criteria. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.
Syntax
Overloads Function Search( _
   Optional ByVal queryFilter As QueryFilter _
) As RowCursor

Parameters

queryFilter
A query filter

Return Value

A RowCursor allows access to the matched rows.
Exceptions
ExceptionDescription
This method or property must be called within the lambda passed to QueuedTask.Run.
Remarks

If there is a definition query set on the MapMember, the Search() method will automatically work on the subset of rows in the MapMember that meet the definition criteria. You specify an additional query that will be applied after the MapMember's definition query by passing valid QueryFilter object for the QueryFilter parameter.
If the MapMember has any joins, this Search() method takes that into account.
You can use the cursor returned by Search to update rows.

To ensure maximum robustness, callers should explicitly dispose of the returned ArcGIS.Core.Data.RowCursor in either a using statement or a finally block.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1
