find/replace/find next

[Muddy]

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.

'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 . I'd give an example if I had one, but I've never used this myself.

Thanks Kaverin,

I'll give it a try.
