Thanks Ed,
for the present case this will work. Just use the dBaseMenuBar and
modify it to my needs.
But I can imagine a couple of scenarios where this would not be enough.
i - say I want to do the search stuff from a button (guess the
answer to this would be to just call the menu onHit or something)
ii - I might need to define my own findDialog and/or do funny things
with the found text.
In those cases I imagine it would be nice to be able to call a find
method with the appropriate parameters (findString, downwardSearch,
wholeWord, matchCase) which would return the position of the text. I
guess I could, if necessary, drill down to uiApp, set the appropriate
findReplaceData flags and directly use onFind() but it would be a hack.
Anyway, just a suggestion, right now I'm ok with using a dBaseMenuBar.
