Main Window

Below is an example of the main window of Power Find Pro. It is composed of two main components:

· Toolbar area

· Match Listing area

This window can be docked or floating in the Visual Basic environment. To dock the window, click and drag on the caption bar to the area of the Visual Basic environment that you want to dock it. You can see when the window will be docked because the window outline will change from a thick dotted line to a thin dotted line. If you wish to undock it, just drag the caption bar until the outline becomes a thick dotted line.

If you close Visual Basic with the PFP window open, it will restore its last position.

To close the window, just click the X in the upper right corner of the window.

To reopen the window, click on the Add-Ins menu add look for the
Power Find Pro menu option .

Toolbar Area

This button allows you to see the Find Window. The Find Window shows a dialog box very similar to the one that Visual Basic displays when you press Ctrl-F or select the Find menu option.

This combo box is used for a quick search. You can type anything you want and press enter. It will then proceed to do a search across your entire project (just like clicking the Find Button shown above). It just saves you the time of having to load the Find Window. This combo box will maintain the last 10 searches you have performed. It will even maintain this history list across Visual Basic sessions so you can remember the previous searches you have performed.

This button will move to the next match in the list of matches. It will also open the source code window to the location of the next match. If the window is already opened, it will just jump to the location in the source code window that applies to this match.

This button will allow you to export the list of matches to a comma-delimited file. PFP will prompt you for the filename you want to use. The default extension is CSV (for comma separated values).
