SearchReplaceControl isn't enabling correctly.
Q. Why aren't the triggers in the Find/Replace controller enabled, even after I type some text in the Find field? A. 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; ... } @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 }; } This example is for text objects, which is generally what the Find/Replace is used on. You should only have to make minor modifications to make this work with other kinds of objects.
