find/replace/find next

Is there a common dialog box for Find/Find Next/Replace?

If so, how do I open it up from a program?

This is the function and struct you'll need to do that.

VB Code:

'this is the find dialog
Public Declare Function FindText Lib "comdlg32.dll" Alias "FindTextA" (pFindreplace As FINDREPLACE) As Long
'this is the find/replace dialog
Public Declare Function ReplaceText Lib "comdlg32.dll" Alias "FindTextA" (pFindreplace As FINDREPLACE) As Long
Public Type FINDREPLACE
   lStructSize As Long ' size of this struct 0x20
   hwndOwner As Long ' handle to owner's window
   hInstance As Long ' stance handle of.EXE that contains cust. dlg. template
   flags As Long ' one or more of the FR_??
   lpstrFindWhat As String ' ptr. to search string
   lpstrReplaceWith As String ' ptr. to replace string
   wFindWhatLen As Integer ' size of find buffer
   wReplaceWithLen As Integer ' size of replace buffer
   lCustData As Long ' data passed to hook fn.
   lpfnHook As Long ' ptr. to hook fn. or NULL
   lpTemplateName As String ' custom template name
End Type

I could swear there was an example of it somewhere here, since I've seen it before, but until someone decides to fix the search thing, if ever, I can't find out if it was here or not :rolleyes:. I'd give an example if I had one, but I've never used this myself.

Thanks Kaverin,

I'll give it a try.
