_________________________________________________________________
The finddialog command creates a find dialog that works in
conjunction with a text or scrolledtext widget to provide a
means of performing search operations. The user is prompted
for a text pattern to be found in the text or scrolledtext
widget. The search can be for all occurances, by regular
expression, considerate of the case, or backwards.
The finddialog command creates a new Tcl command whose name
is pathName. This command may be used to invoke various
operations on the widget. It has the following general
form:
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command.
The following commands are possible for finddialog
widgets:
add buttonconfigure defaulthide
- invoke
- show
See the "buttonbox" widget manual entry for details on the
above inherited methods.
activate center deactivate
See the "shell" widget manual entry for details on the above
inherited methods.
pathName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration option
given by option. Option may have any of the values
accepted by the finddialog command.
pathName clear
Clears the pattern in the entry field and the pattern
matchin indicators in the text or scrolledtext widget.
pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
Query or modify the configuration options of the
widget. If no option is specified, returns a list
describing all of the available options for pathName
(see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the format of
this list). If option is specified with no value, then
the command returns a list describing the one named
option (this list will be identical to the corresponding
sublist of the value returned if no option is
specified). If one or more option - value pairs are
specified, then the command modifies the given widget
option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the
command returns an empty string. Option may have any
of the values accepted by the finddialog command.
pathName find

given by the -textwidget option. This method is the
standard callback for the Find button. It is made
available such that it can be bound to a find again
action.
