SYNOPSIS

use Prima::StdDlg;
my $dlg = Prima::FindDialog-> create( findStyle => 0);
my $res = $dlg-> execute;
if ( $res == mb::Ok) {
print $dlg-> findText, " is to be found\n";
} elsif ( $res == mb::ChangeAll) {
print "all occurences of ", $dlg-> findText,
" is to be replaced by ", $dlg-> replaceText;
}

The "mb::ChangeAll" constant, one of possible results of "execute" method, is defined in Prima::StdDlg module. Therefore it is recommended to include this module instead.

DESCRIPTION

The module provides two classes - Prima::FindDialog and Prima::ReplaceDialog; Prima::ReplaceDialog is exactly same as Prima::FindDialog except that its default findStyle property value is set to 0. One can use a dialog-caching technique, arbitrating between findStyle value 0 and 1, and use only one instance of Prima::FindDialog.

The module does not provide the actual search algorithm; this must be implemented by the programmer. The toolkit currently include some facilitation to the problem - the part of algorithm for "Prima::Edit" class is found in ``find'' in Prima::Edit, and the another part - in examples/editor.pl example program. Prima::HelpWindow also uses the module, and realizes its own searching algorithm.

API

Properties

All the properties select the user-assigned values, except findStyle.

findText STRING

Selects the text string to be found.

Default value: ''

findStyle BOOLEAN

If 1, the dialog provides only 'find text' interface. If 0, the dialog provides also 'replace text' interface.

Default value: 1 for "Prima::FindDialog", 0 for "Prima::ReplaceDialog".

options INTEGER

Combination of "fdo::" constants. For the detailed description see ``find'' in Prima::Edit.

        fdo::MatchCase
        fdo::WordsOnly
        fdo::RegularExpression
        fdo::BackwardSearch
        fdo::ReplacePrompt

Default value: 0

replaceText STRING

Selects the text string that is to replace the found text.

Default value: ''

scope

One of "fds::" constants. Represents the scope of the search: it can be started from the cursor position, of from the top or of the bottom of the text.
