Microsoft find / replace dialog control

[Paulers]

Hello,

I downloaded the Microsoft find and replace sample control for vb.net
and I am struggling with getting it to work. I do not know anything
about event handling (yet) and I believe that is why it is not working.
I have a main menu set up in my application and I can launch the
control but the find and replace functions are not working. Does anyone
know of a good online resource or website that has a good toutorial
that can explain events and how to handle them? I am looking to figure
out how to write this on my own I just need a nudge in the right
direction. Thanks for your time.

Could you post the link where you downloaded the sample?

While testing the VB.NET application it failed with the following
message:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Argumen tException' occurred in
findreplace.dll

Additional information: '-1' is not a valid value for 'start'.


This was caused when I tried to find text while going "UP" in the text
box and the text was not found.

The fix is easy. Change line 702 in the file FindReplaceDial og.vb

The code originally reads as: If foundLocation >= 0 Then

Change it to: If foundLocation > 0 Then
