Probably a good warning, : though. : : -- : .NET: It's About Trust! : http://vfred.mvps.org EM_FINDTEXT and EM_FINDTEXTEX (unicode support) both fail on standard textboxes. It returns a 0 and a LastDLL error of 0 (while a failure on a RTB kicks back a -1). The MSFT docs says specifically for RTB. Anyways, I wrote up something that will work with both rtb and standard txtbox. It's too big to post here. If you want to see it, I already wrote it into Karl's project (Note to Karl: I sent you the file, check your mail) as a module and called the function from the events from the main form. If you want to see it or have it, or make it better, I can send it to you [kevin dot provance at gmail dot com].

Yep, got it, but just trying to tie up a few loose ends before escaping for a really nice long weekend! :-) If you don't hear from me sooner, I'm not ignoring things here, I'm just, well, ignoring things here. So to speak. Heh... First impressions, very positive! Seems to work well. Haven't picked at it, much at all, though. Did notice the search didn't wrap? Maybe that's the standard way, I dunno. Looks too like for a demo that actually does do find/replace, we'd want to comment out those lines that sets the search text before the dialog pops. First question I'd get asked if I published something like this would be, "how do I make it work with accented characters?" <g> Have a great Forth! -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org

An overall issue I seem to have found, seting sellength in the findnext event causes the text to be highlihted but it's not visibly highlighted the same with seting selstart. They get visually set after the box closes though. I am using a multiline Standard textbox. Ill post the code once I add code that checks the case , the updown buttons and the wholeword checkbox. -- ClassicVB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org
