[WDSCI-L] Re: How do you stop the automatic "Find Again" on CTRL+F

[adrian <stori@xxxxxxxxxx>]

For those inspired by Eric's articles, and accordingly inclined to 
extend LPEX, here's an action which will clear the "Find" field whenever 
the live-find dialog comes up:

  lpexView.defineAction("findAndReplace", new LpexAction() {
   public void doAction(LpexView view)
   {
    view.doCommand("set findText.findText \"\"");
    view.doDefaultAction(view.actionId("findAndReplace"));
   }
   public boolean available(LpexView view)
   {
    return view.defaultActionAvailable(view.actionId("findAndReplace"));
   }
  });
