Thread: Em_findtext

Code:

FINDTEXT	ft;
CHARRANGE	cr;
DWORD		status = -1;
cr.cpMin = 0;
cr.cpMax = -1;
ft.chrg = cr;
ft.lpstrText = find; // find is a string that is declared,defined before ( it doesn't matter much

status = (DWORD)SendMessage(wRichEdit, EM_FINDTEXT, (WPARAM)FR_DOWN, (LPARAM)&ft);

In the above code, there seems to be a problem : althought i specified FR_DOWN, when
this message is sent, my rich edit doesn't search for the text down, it search up (from the
cursor position)
Only if searching for the string up doesn't sucssed then, rich edit searches down.

MSDN clearly said that if i specify FR_DOWN, the search will go down.
Why isn't it working like this???

very strange behaviour, can i find an example of FR_DOWN somewhere?

here's my code:

Code:

FINDTEXT	ft;
CHARRANGE	cr;
DWORD		status = -1;
cr.cpMin = 0;
cr.cpMax = -1;
ft.chrg = cr;
ft.lpstrText = find;
status = (DWORD)SendMessage(children.eBook, EM_FINDTEXT, (WPARAM)FR_DOWN, (LPARAM)&ft);

aha, thanks.
