bUseRegex in EditControl.Find

[William]

The editcontrol function ''Find'' specifies an option for bUseRegex. I set it to true and set my ''str'' parameter to a regular expression, but get not results. Can I get some examples of using the Find function with regex.

Hi Willaim Here is a sample code snippet that you can add to any of the Essential Edit samples that ship: private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { Regex rg = new Regex("&\\w{1,}"); string searchstr = (rg.Match(this.editControl1.GetString(this.editControl1.CurrentLine)).Value); if (searchstr=="") { MessageBox.Show("No Text matching the pattern found in Line: " + this.editControl1.CurrentLine.ToString()); } Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Edit.EditLocationRange range = editControl1.Find(new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Edit.EditLocation(this.editControl1.CurrentLineChar.L,this.editControl1.CurrentLineChar.C),searchstr,false); this.editControl1.Select(range); this.editControl1.Focus(); } The thing to note is that you need pass the string that you want to find when you use the EditControl''s Find method. In this case it locates it finds a word beginning with a & in a particular line (like say &test). Regards Arun
