_________________________________________________________________

The iwidgets::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, con-

siderate of the case, or backwards.

The iwidgets::finddialog command creates a new Tcl command whose

name is pathName. This command may be used to invoke various op- erations 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 in-

herited 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 iwidgets::finddialog command. pathName clear Clears the pattern in the entry field and the pat- tern 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 re- turned 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 ac- cepted by the iwidgets::finddialog command. pathName find Search for a specific text string in the text widget given by the -tex- twidget 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.
