dgw::sfinddialog

dgw::sfinddialog - is a toplevel search dialog to perform a text search in other widgets. As such functionalitye is mostly required for the Tk text widget, a implementation to search a Tk text widget is embedded within the sfinddialog widget. The buttons and the text entry are exposed to the programmer, so the programmer has for instance the possibility to manually insert a value in the search entry or to click a button programmatically.

Below is the example code for the figure given above:

 package require dgw::sfinddialog
 pack [text .text]

 dgw::sfinddialog .st -nocase 0 -textwidget .text -title "Search"
 .text insert end "Hello\n"
 .text insert end "Hello World!\n"
 .text insert end "Hello Search Dialog!\n"
 .text insert end "End\n"
 .text insert end "How are your?\n"
 .text insert end "I am not prepared :(\n"

 bind .text <Control-f> {wm deiconify .st}
