Description |
|---|---|
|
dwcontrol |
A reference to a DataWindow control containing a DataWindow with the RichTextEdit presentation style |
Return value
Returns the number of characters found. FindNext returns 0 if no matching text is found and -1 if the DataWindow's presentation style is not RichTextEdit or an error occurs.
Usage
PowerBuilder environment
For use with PowerBuilder RichTextEdit controls, see the section called “FindNext” in PowerScript Reference.
Examples
This example searches the DataWindow control dw_1 for text the user specifies in the SingleLineEdit sle_search. The search proceeds forward from the cursor position, is case-insensitive, and is not limited to whole words:
integer li_charsfound li_charsfound = dw_1.Find(sle_search.Text, & true, true, false, true)
A second button labeled Find Next would have a script like this:
dw_1.FindNext()
