Overview

SyntaxEditor's view search model interacts with the view's selection and provides extensive find/replace functionality. A built-in search overlay pane makes this functionality accessible to end users.

Programmatically Searching

SyntaxEditor includes a powerful view search model that is layered on top of the low-level search model found in the text framework.

See the Programmatically Searching topic for more information.

Search Overlay Pane

The search overlay pane is a control built into SyntaxEditor that allows find and replace operations to be performed. When active, the pane appears in-line at the upper right corner of the text area.

See the Search Overlay Pane topic for more information.

SyntaxEditor supports incremental search, which is a feature that allows for fast text searching via the keyboard, and without the use of any search dialogs or panes.

See the Incremental Search topic for more information.

Search Result Highlighting

When performing searches, many modern editors actively display matching results as the user types the find text. SyntaxEditor supports the live highlighting of search results.

See the Search Result Highlighting topic for more information.
