Finding

Question

Hello I am having problems with creating find function. I can get the code to find starting from the top going down but I haven't been able to reverse that take a look. else if (upRadioButton.Checked == true ) { try { rtb.Select(rtb.Text.Length length); // rtb.Select(searchindex - 1 length); searchindex = temp.LastIndexOf(textBox1.Text searchindex); rtb.Select(searchindex length); rtb.Focus(); searchindex += length; } catch ( Exception e) { MessageBox .Show(e.Message); } } Thanks for any help you can give this should be simple. I'm just having a I don't get it day.

Hi Is there something wrong with the inbuilt methods: rtb.Find(AString  StartIndex EndIndex RichTextBoxFinds.None); rtb.Find(AString StartIndex EndIndex RichTextBoxFinds.Reverse); Sam.

Wow I'm sorry I didn't even notice I forgot all the definitions thanks for telling me. namespace Simple_Pad { public partial class FindAndReplace : Form { private string FindText =  ; private int searchindex; private void Find() { RichTextBox rtb = ( RichTextBox )_tabs.SelectedTab.Controls[0]; int length = textBox1.Text.Length; string temp = rtb.Text; else if (upRadioButton.Checked == true ) { try { rtb.Select(searchindex length); searchindex = temp.LastIndexOf(textBox1.Text searchindex); rtb.Select(searchindex length); rtb.Focus(); searchindex += length; } catch ( Exception e) { MessageBox .Show(e.Message); } } } } } That should be everything I haven't solved it quite yet. I found more bugs in the current program and have been working to solve those. Thanks.

Hi Ryan Have you already solved your problem? Maybe if you'll include the definition of each of the variables in your code snippet and also their current values we might be able to help you. Cheers Jan
