Examples

Sub FindExample()  
   Dim objTextDoc As TextDocument  
   Dim objEditPt As EditPoint  
   Dim iCtr As Integer  
   Dim objFind As Find  

   ' Create a new text file.  
   DTE.ItemOperations.NewFile("General\Text File")  

   ' Get a handle to the new document and create an EditPoint.  
   objTextDoc = DTE.ActiveDocument.Object("TextDocument")  
   objEditPt = objTextDoc.StartPoint.CreateEditPoint  
   objFind = objTextDoc.DTE.Find  

   ' Insert ten lines of text.  
   For iCtr = 1 To 10  
      objEditPt.Insert("This is a test." & Chr(13))  
   Next iCtr  

   ' Set the find options.  
   objFind.Action = vsFindAction.vsFindActionReplaceAll  
   objFind.Backwards = False  
   objFind.FilesOfType = "*.txt"  
   objFind.FindWhat = "test"  
   objFind.KeepModifiedDocumentsOpen = True  
   objFind.MatchCase = False  
   objFind.MatchInHiddenText = False  
   objFind.MatchWholeWord = True  
   objFind.PatternSyntax = vsFindPatternSyntax.vsFindPatternSyntaxLiteral  
   objFind.ReplaceWith = "NEW THING"  
   objFind.ResultsLocation = vsFindResultsLocation.vsFindResultsNone  
   objFind.SearchPath = "c:\temp"  
   objFind.SearchSubfolders = False  
   objFind.Target = vsFindTarget.vsFindTargetCurrentDocument  
   ' Perform the Find operation.  
   objFind.Execute()  
End Sub  

Remarks

The Find object allows you to find and replace text in places of the environment that support such operations, such as the Code editor.

It is intended primarily for macro recording purposes. The editor's macro recording mechanism uses Find rather than TextSelection.FindPattern so that you can discover the global find functionality. Furthermore, it is generally more useful than using the TextSelection object for such operations as Find-in-files.

The Visual Studio environment's global find state is shared across all its tools and provides search capabilities. For example, all Visual Studio elements share the history of search patterns used during a session and whether the next Find operation for open documents should be forwards or backwards. The Find object's properties interact with and track the global find state. When you set properties on the Find object, you also set the global find state. If users perform a Find operation through the environment, the Find object reflects the kind of search they performed. Since automation code runs synchronously with the environment's UI thread, you do not need to worry about setting some properties and having the user perform a search before you can call the Execute.

The Execute method performs a Find operation based on the settings of the Find object. You can also pass arguments to the FindReplace method to perform a search without affecting the global find state. It is important for automation clients to be able to perform a search without affecting the global find state or interfering with the end user's model of the environment's state.

Properties

Action

Gets or sets how to find, such as find next match, find all, replace and find, and so forth.

Backwards

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the search is performed backwards from the current position.

DTE

Gets the top-level extensibility object.

FilesOfType

Gets or sets the file extension for the files to be searched.

FindWhat

Gets or sets the text or pattern to find.

KeepModifiedDocumentsOpen

Gets or sets a value indicating whether or not modified documents remain open after a replace operation.

MatchCase

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the search is case-sensitive.

MatchInHiddenText

Gets or sets a value indicating whether hidden text is included in the search.

MatchWholeWord

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the search matches whole words only.

Parent

Gets the immediate parent object of a Find object.

PatternSyntax

Gets or sets the syntax used to specify the search pattern.

ReplaceWith

Gets or sets the replacement text for a replacement operation.

ResultsLocation

Gets or sets the location where the results are shown in a bulk search operation.

SearchPath

Gets or sets a list of directories to use for a find-in-files operation.

SearchSubfolders

Gets or sets a value indicating whether subfolders are included in a search operation.

Target

Gets or sets the target of the search operation, such as all open docs, files, the active document, and so forth.

WaitForFindToComplete

Gets or sets a value indicating whether a find result is returned before continuing execution.

Methods

Execute()

Performs a search based on the options set for the Find object.

FindReplace(vsFindAction, String, Int32, String, vsFindTarget, String, String, vsFindResultsLocation)

Performs a Find or Replace operation based on the arguments to the method, without affecting the options set for the Find object.
