Find/Replace disabled problem
Question: Why aren't the triggers in the Find/Replace controller enabled, even after I type some text in the Find field? Answer: In the SearchReplaceControl you need to have the following attribute: ATTR_SEARCH_CONTROL_INTERACT_ONLY_WITH_TARGETED_TEXT_OBJECTS; This will make the triggers become enabled at the appropriate time. Here is a sample SearchReplaceControl object: @object GenInteractionClass MyEditMenu = { GI_comp = @MySearchReplaceControl; ... } /* MyEditMenu */ @object SearchReplaceControlClass MySearchReplaceControl = { GI_visMoniker = "Find and Replace"; GI_states = @default & ~GS_ENABLED; GII_visibility = GIV_DIALOG; ATTR_SEARCH_CONTROL_INTERACT_ONLY_WITH_TARGETED_TEXT_OBJECTS; ATTR_GEN_DESTINATION_CLASS = { (ClassStruct*)&MyTextClass }; } /* MySearchReplaceControl */ This example is for text objects, which is generally what Find/Replace is used for. You should only need to make minor modifications to make this work with other kinds of objects.
