Hi all! How can I find or replace in API? I tried to write a code according to msdn tutorial but it doesn't work... Here is what I did: The defines: UINT uFindReplaceMsg; HWND DlgFind; A function: BOOL FindReplace(HWND hwnd){ FINDREPLACE fr; CHAR szFindWhat[80] = ""; ZeroMemory(&fr, sizeof(fr)); fr.lStructSize = sizeof(fr); fr.hwndOwner = hwnd; fr.lpstrFindWhat = szFindWhat; fr.wFindWhatLen = 80; fr.Flags = 0; DlgFind = FindText(&fr); } In GetMessage loop: while(GetMessage(&messages, NULL, 0, 0)) { if(!IsDialogMessage(DlgFind, &messages)){ TranslateMessage(&messages); DispatchMessage(&messages); } } In the Windows Procedure: if(message == uFindReplaceMsg){ LPFINDREPLACE lpfr = (LPFINDREPLACE)lParam; if (lpfr->Flags & FR_DIALOGTERM){ DlgFind = NULL; return 0; } if (lpfr->Flags & FR_FINDNEXT){ //SearchFile(lpfr->lpstrFindWhat, //(BOOL) (lpfr->Flags & FR_DOWN), //(BOOL) (lpfr->Flags & FR_MATCHCASE)); } } (The Comments are because the functions don't exist...) In case WM_CREATE: uFindReplaceMsg = RegisterWindowMessage(FINDMSGSTRING); I think I don't use the functions right... Can anyone help me? Basa_Melkiy

What problem are you having? Error messages/won't compile, or compiles but no FR dialog box?

Sorry I didn't show up for a while, I was sick... The dialog box is displayed but the program reports a problem after 3-5 seconds and says it must close. Basa_Melkiy

Sorry again... When I move the mouse over the dialog box the prog reports a problem. Basa_Melkiy
