2.Perform a control search.
To search for a control, enter the search string you want to search for in each entry area displayed on the first line of the search result list.
•Form ・・・ Form name
•Object - Type of control (for example, for a button, specify "Button")
•Name ・・・ Object name
•Comment ・・・ Comment
•Other Library related properties: You can specify library related properties.
Search conditions can be specified for each column, and multiple conditions can be specified at the same time. When multiple conditions are specified, the results are narrowed down using the AND method.
As an example, enter "Button" for Object.
To confirm your search criteria, press Enter or click the refresh icon in the upper left.
Then the search results were displayed in a list.

3.Try selecting a row in the search list.
You can select a row in the list by clicking it to select the target object.
As an example, try clicking on a row of search results below.
This will cause the control to be selected on the form.

When performing replacement processing, there may be cases where you want to process all objects displayed on the form, or you may want to select the objects you want to process by clicking them with the mouse (in other words, cases where you want to select the objects to be replaced from the screen, rather than narrowing down the objects using search criteria).
In such cases, select the object you want to target and click the icon below (the adopt icon in the selection control).
For example, if you select multiple buttons on a form as shown below and click the icon in the image above, the selected buttons will be included in the search list as search results.
