The "Find in Control Properties" feature opens a search utility to locate specific text defined within the properties of any object for the connected database. The functionality to search for text within Control Properties allows users to locate Component IDs, hints, text captions, columns listed in WHERE Clauses for Lookup controls, and also pop-up menus. Any text defined within a form, report, or label control will be used in the search.
The "In Property Names" option for Control Property searches also allows users to locate text for an actual property (e. g. ReadOnly, AutoSize, Show Hint, etc.) in use for objects. The functionality is helpful in determining which objects are using a specific setting, which can be toggled within the search results.
When searching for text within Control Properties, text strings can be located within the following modules:
•Forms
•Reports
•Labels
•External Forms
To begin searching, press the [Ctrl]+[L] key combination to display the "Find in Control Properties" dialog. Searching for text can include all listed items displayed at the Database Explorer, or just a selected few. For example, selecting ten out of fifty reports, and then pressing [Ctrl]+[L] will search for the text for all controls within the ten selected reports.
