Prima::FindDialog, Prima::ReplaceDialog - standard interface dialogs to find and replace options selection.

	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.

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.

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.

	fds::Cursor
	fds::Top
	fds::Bottom

Default value: fds::Cursor
