Tip of the Day: Searching for Text in Control Properties
Product: R:BASE eXtreme 9.1/9.5 (32/64)
Build..: 9.1.5.11111 or higher http://www.rupdates.com
Section: Database Explorer
Did you know that you can search for specific text that may
be defined in Form, Report, Label, and External Form control
properties?
The new "Find in Control Properties" feature opens a search
utility to locate specific text defined within the properties
of any object for the connected database. The functionality
to search for text within Control Properties allows users to
locate Component IDs, hints, text captions, columns listed in
WHERE Clauses for Lookup controls, and also pop-up menus.
Any text defined within a form, report, or label control will
be used in the search!
When searching for text within Control Properties, text
strings
can be located within the following modules:
. Forms
. Reports
. Labels
. External Forms
Here's how:
To begin searching, press the [Ctrl]+[L] key combination to
display the "Find in Control Properties" dialog.

Searching for text can include all listed items displayed
at the
Database Explorer, or just a selected few. For example,
selecting
ten out of fifty forms, and then pressing [Ctrl]+[L] will
search
for the text for all controls within the ten selected forms.
Note: The "Find in Control Properties" dialog can only be
launched from the Database Explorer.
After the search is complete, a list of forms and form
objects
that match the search will be displayed. The search
results will
contain form object(s) whose property and value match the
search
criteria.

The property value can be launched within a dialog window for
editing by double clicking on it, or by selecting the
"Edit..."
button. The search results can be saved to several output
formats.
The "Expand All" check box allows the list of EEPs in the
search
results to expand for full viewing.
Have fun!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
