Has anybody implemented the Find / Replace dialog box from Visual Basic?

I can see that there is some code in commctl32.dll that should do this but it does not seem to be included in the Common Controls OCX...

Any ideas?
TIA,
Duncan

Check out the new downloads - ImageMap.ocx is the VB control that emulates an HTML image map, EventVB.OCX for adding new events to your VB form and adding System Tray support simply, MCL Hotkey for implemenmting system-wide hotkeys in your application...all with source code included.

you can use the API calls FindText and ReplaceText:public Declare Function ReplaceText Lib "comdlg32.dll" Alias "ReplaceTextA" (pFindReplace as FINDREPLACE) as Long
public Declare Function FindText Lib "comdlg32.dll" Alias "FindTextA " (pFindReplace as FINDREPLACE) as Long

Where FINDREPLACE is a structure with initialization data.

Thee is a submission that showed up on Planet-Source-Code.com/vb last year that shows the Find/Replace Dialog box. It seems to work with a couple of minor problems. See comments atached to the document
