From: Leo on 27 Jun 2010 02:53 I tried looking at the MS example and it confuses me especially after reading the MSDN doco for FindText. I have been thinking abou going about the operation using Karl's HookXP subclassing method to catch the FINDMSGSTRING Message. Would that be an acceptable method? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/267939 is the MS example -- ClassicVB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org

From: Mayayana on 27 Jun 2010 10:04 Is there some reason to prefer that over just doing it yourself? You can make your own Find/Replace window and search a textbox yourself. What you've got there is just a convoluted subclassing operation in order to use a system- produced Find/Replace window. It's the sort of thing that C++ programmers would have found to be the easiest method before there was RAD programming. After jumping through all those hoops you're still just doing an InStr on the textbox text. |I tried looking at the MS example and it confuses me especially after | reading the MSDN doco for FindText.

I got it running, but it goes in a totally different dirrection to the msdn docs probably so as not to go into subclassing though. -- ClassicVB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org
