Search data from FlowLayoutPanel - vb.net

Question

How can I make my textbox.text when I enter something to fetch results in flowlayoutpanel and if i remove text form textbox to show all again.
Simply search option inside the flowpanel to show found records.
The code that create the flowlayoutpanel when form loads:
Private Sub GenerateDynamicUserControl()
FlowLayoutPanel1.Controls.Clear()
Dim dt As DataTable = New ClassBLL().GetItems()
If dt IsNot Nothing Then
If dt.Rows.Count > 0 Then
Dim listItems As ListItem() = New ListItem(dt.Rows.Count - 1) {}
For i As Integer = 0 To 1 - 1
For Each row As DataRow In dt.Rows
Dim listItem As New ListItem()
listItems(i) = listItem
'Dim ms As New MemoryStream(CType(row("userPic"), Byte()))
Dim ms As New MemoryStream(CType(row("UserPictureFrom"), Byte()))
Dim ms2 As New MemoryStream(CType(row("UserPictureTo"), Byte()))
listItems(i).Width = FlowLayoutPanel1.Width - 30
listItems(i).Icon = New Bitmap(ms)
listItems(i).Icon2 = New Bitmap(ms2)
listItems(i).OrderFrom = row("orderfrom").ToString()
listItems(i).OrderTitle = row("UserPositionFrom").ToString()
listItems(i).OrderReceiver = row("orderreceiver").ToString()
listItems(i).OrderTitle2 = row("UserPositionTo").ToString()
'listItems(i).ButtonBackground = orderButtonBackString
listItems(i).ButtonText = row("orderstatus").ToString()
listItems(i).OrderDate = row("orderdate")
listItems(i).IDOrder = row("orderid").ToString()
listItems(i).Subject = row("ordersubject").ToString()
listItems(i).SubjectText = row("ordersubjecttext").ToString()
If listItems(i).ButtonText = "Accepted" Then
listItems(i).ButtonBackground = Color.FromArgb(26, 168, 92)
ElseIf listItems(i).ButtonText = "Declined" Then
listItems(i).ButtonBackground = Color.FromArgb(246, 50, 90)
ElseIf listItems(i).ButtonText = "Proceed" Then
listItems(i).ButtonBackground = Color.FromArgb(255, 174, 33)
ElseIf listItems(i).ButtonText = "Waiting" Then
listItems(i).ButtonBackground = Color.FromArgb(53, 121, 255)
Else
listItems(i).ButtonBackground = Color.FromArgb(91, 146, 255)
End If
FlowLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(listItems(i))
Next
Next
End If
End If
End Sub
The class:
Public Function ReadItemsTable() As DataTable
Using cons As New SQLiteConnection(ServerStatus)
Using cmd As New SQLiteCommand()
cmd.Connection = cons
'cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM OrdersAssigned ORDER BY ID ASC"
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT OrdersAssigned.*,
ProfilesFrom.userPosition AS UserPositionFrom,
ProfilesFrom.userPicture AS UserPictureFrom,
ProfilesTo.userPosition AS UserPositionTo,
ProfilesTo.userPicture AS UserPictureTo
FROM
(OrdersAssigned
LEFT OUTER JOIN Profiles AS ProfilesFrom ON OrdersAssigned.orderacc = ProfilesFrom.userAccount)
LEFT OUTER JOIN Profiles AS ProfilesTo ON OrdersAssigned.orderreceiveracc = ProfilesTo.userAccount
ORDER BY
OrdersAssigned.ID ASC;"
cons.Open()
Using sda As New SQLiteDataAdapter(cmd)
Dim dt As New DataTable()
sda.Fill(dt)
Return dt
End Using
End Using
End Using
End Function
and on my button "btnSearchOrders_TextChanged" I need to input the search method any ideas how to do that without calling new query?

Answer 1

On the textbox TextChanged event try something like:
For Each myControl As Control In myflowlayoutcontrol.Controls
If myControl.text=mytextboxname.text then
'found it!
End if
'more code goes here
Next
the code inside the .TextChanged function will run every time the text of the textbox change and will search for the text on it in the flow control objects .text strings.
Let me know if you need more help.
