RE: Pop-up Menu - Find Selection

["Brian D. James" <bjames@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No Mike, that option only limits the scope of the text searched not what
text is being searched for. At least, that's the way it is working for me on
V5R1 SP3. If the action that I've described in my prior posts is not
available natively, then I can write a macro to achieve the desired action
if only I knew the name for the macro/command that is executed by the "Find
selection" item on the pop-up menu. Any idea as to the name of this
macro/command?

Thank you for your continued assistance.

Regards,

Brian

When I do Ctrl-F (or LP_FINDCHANGE) I get a dialogue that has 5 buttons
along the bottom.  The middle button is "options..."  pressing this takes
me to an options panel for find-replace.  The top option is "Restrict
search to" with the radio buttons being "All Documents", "Current
document" and "Selection, if exists".   I have it set to the last one.

I think that Ctrl-N looks for the next instancethe found text.

Kind regards,

Mike

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes this is in the editor and uh, I dunno, what options are you referring
to?

What I want to do is to be able to press <Ctrl+F> and if I have text
selected, I want the editor to find the next occurance of the selected
text
(i.e., do the same thing as the "Find selection" function does). If I
don't
have any text selected I want it to display the Find/Change dialog box to
allow me to enter the text string to find (i.e., the same thing the
LP_FINDCHANGE command does).

Thanks again,

Brian
