Searches for the current pattern from the current position to the end of the document.
Namespace: EnvDTE80
Assembly: EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Function SearchForward As vsIncrementalSearchResult
vsIncrementalSearchResult SearchForward()
vsIncrementalSearchResult SearchForward()
abstract SearchForward : unit -> vsIncrementalSearchResult
function SearchForward() : vsIncrementalSearchResult
Return Value
Type: EnvDTE80.vsIncrementalSearchResult
A vsIncrementalSearchResult enumeration.
Remarks
SearchForward searches forward regardless of the previous direction of the search. It does not modify the pattern.
If a match is found, the editor selection is moved to the new ___location. The selection is not moved if the search fails.
If the search pattern is empty, SearchForward simply sets the direction of the search.
Examples
Sub testIS2()
' Before running, open a document in Visual Studio.
' Set variables for text pane.
Dim tp As EnvDTE80.TextPane2
tp = CType(DTE.ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.Object.ActivePane, _
TextPane2)
' Start an incremental search backward from
' the current insertion point in the document.
tp.IncrementalSearch.StartBackward()
' Add the character "a" to the search pattern.
tp.IncrementalSearch.AppendCharAndSearch(Asc("a"))
' Display the parent name for IncrementalSearch object.
MsgBox("IncrementalSearch parent: " & _
tp.IncrementalSearch.DTE.FullName)
MsgBox("Search pattern length: " & _
tp.IncrementalSearch.Pattern.Length)
' Perform incremental search using the pattern ("a").
