Search Menu
The Search Menu contains commands for finding text or objects. The
commands on the menu are:
- Find Again --
Find the next occurrence of the previously searched for text in the
current text buffer.
- Find Clipboard --
Finds in the currently-selected object (usually a text-edit buffer)
what is on the clipboard.
- Replace --
Display the Replace dialog allowing you to specify
text to find and text to replace it with.
- Replace Again --
Find and replace the next instance of the previous thing found and replaced.
- Quick Find Definition --
Opens the file containing the definition of the object (operator,
variable, class) named by the currently selected symbol. If more than
one type of object is named (a function and a class, for example), a
lettered menu listing the choices is displayed (see pop-up-lettered-menu). If the
system does not know where the definition of an object is or the
selected symbol does not name an object, a beep is sounded and a
message appears in the status bar. You can always use the Definitions dialog
(displayed with Search | Find Definition for a more
exhaustive search).
If you have Common Graphics/IDE source code installed in your Allegro
directory, you need to load the file src\cg\loadsfi.cl in order for
the definitions of Common Graphics or IDE objects to be found. That
file may take some time to load. Look at the comments in that file for
information on creating an image with the file already loaded.
- Complete Symbol --
Display a menu (or Select a Completion dialog
if there are a lot) showing possible completions of the symbol being
typed. If there is only one completion, it is pasted with no menu or
further action.
