You can also set search condition options using the icons below.

Click this icon to switch between case sensitivity and non-sensitivity. Each time you click, it toggles between on and off. When enabled, a selection frame is displayed and case sensitivity is enabled.

Clicking this icon will switch between exact match and partial match. Each time you click it, it will be toggled on/off. When enabled, the selected frame will be displayed and the search will be for an exact match.

2.Run a script search.

The list displays the following information:

•Object Name (Name)

•The relevant line (which line in the script)

•The text of the line that was hit

If no script code matching the conditions is found, the list will display as follows:

3.Try selecting a row in the search list.

You can select the object that contains the target script by clicking on a row in the list.

As an example, try clicking on a row of search results below.

This will cause the control to be selected on the form.

Also, if the script view is displayed, the lines that match the search will be highlighted and the cursor will be placed on those lines.

By clicking through the rows in the list, you can visually see where the search is occurring both on the form and in the script.

You can also check both the object and the script by displaying the script view and the screen view (form) at the same time. For example, in a multi-monitor environment, you can pop up the script view on a separate screen.
