Prima::EditDialog(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				      Prima::EditDialog(3)

NAME
Prima::FindDialog, Prima::ReplaceDialog - standard interface dialogs to find and replace options selection. 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 "; } 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. fds::Cursor fds::Top fds::Bottom Default value: "fds::Cursor" AUTHOR
