Search Dialog

The Search dialog allows you to locate a text string or an ID symbol. The dialog provides a multiple-line entry field labeled Text in which you can enter text to search for, and an entry field labeled Symbol in which you can enter a symbol to search for. Note: You can only search for text or a symbol not both.

If you select the Case sensitive check box, the search will locate only exact matches, whereas when you don't have the check box selected, any matches in the letters are permitted. The Search help tables check box searches through the help tables as well. This can be useful when search for an ID symbol.

When a match occurs, the dialog or window that contains the match will be displayed with the matching control selected. If the match occurs within a menu, a help table, a help sub-table or an accelerator table, the window or dialog will still be displayed, but a message box will also appear denoting that the match occurred within the menu, help table, help sub-table or accelerator table.

There is a Cancel button along the bottom of the dialog box.

Search Next allows you to search for the next occurrence of a symbol or text item.
