FindEntry - Find next entry (F3)

The action pops up with a dialog that requires the text to be searched and some search options. After search has been configured, search starts from the current position (when not defined otherwise) looking forward. In order to continue search with the same search parameters, one may call the FindEntry action ( F3 ).

Each control gets its own search parameters, which are kept until being changed by another NewFindEntry action.

The action is supported for list and text controls (multi-line and rich text edit). In lists, it looks for the next list entry matching the search criteria in the order column, i.e. containing the word or text searched in the list entry displayed.

Notes:

When trying to position an entry in a list starting with specific letter(s), one may just type the starting sequence in the list control. In this case, no explicit search action is required.
