Hi Craig
Thanks for your time. I should have given more details...
i am indeed using enterInField (actually returnInField), and the focus
remains the search box
I started with the Find command, but then changed to using matchChunk,
because:
- The Find command shows a thin black border that is hard to see (any
way of controlling this?
- I want to do more complex stuff, e.g.
- regex searches
- Find all (extract lines containing the text)
- Live search, so highlight item or items found as I type
- Perhaps using different highlight colors for different types of
finds
Looking again, I have to reinvent some aspects that Find already has, e.g.
- Searching from last item found
- Options for whole word etc
So thanks for that reminder! My questions now:
- When I use matchChunk and select some text that is found (as if
selecting manually), that selection disappears when the text field is not
focussed. Any way around that? I am thinking I might use backgroundcolor,
depending on speed
- What control do I have on the style of the item found – other than
thin black line?
- Has anyone written a full text editing or word processing program I
can get ideas from?
Thanks again Craig. :-)
