Find, Find Next?
- by Tanner
Hello everyone, I am trying to make a find, find next function for my program, which I did manage to do with this code:
int findPos = 0;
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
string s = textBox1.Text;
richTextBox1.Focus();
findPos = richTextBox1.Find(s, findPos, RichTextBoxFinds.None);
richTextBox1.Select(findPos, s.Length);
findPos += textBox1.Text.Length;
//i = richTextBox1.Find(s, i + s.Length, RichTextBoxFinds.None);
}
catch
{
MessageBox.Show("No Occurences Found");
findPos = 0;
}
}
And it works great in form1 but if I use this code and try to call it from form2 It doesn't do anything:
//Form1
public void FindNext()
{
try
{
this.Focus();
Form2 frm2 = new Form2();
string s = frm2.textBox1.Text;
richTextBox1.Focus();
findPos = richTextBox1.Find(s, findPos, RichTextBoxFinds.None);
richTextBox1.Select(findPos + 1, s.Length);
findPos += textBox1.Text.Length;
}
catch
{
MessageBox.Show("No Occurences Found");
findPos = 0;
}
}
//Form2
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form1 frm1 = new Form1();
frm1.FindNext();
}
Does any one know why this is?
Thanks,Tanner.
