>>Hi All,

>>I've noticed that the Find dialog in VFP9 now supports the ability to automatically put the selected text from my code into the "Look for:" combobox.

>>While that's cool, it only works if the Find dialog is not active. Also, I hate the fact that it does not put EVERYTHING that I have selected. Try selecting two words. It only puts the first one in. Try selecting something like ".Property" (without quotes) and depending on what is in front of the ".", it pastes what I would consider useless text into the combobox!

Yeah, I think it's a bug too. It's very annoying when I go to the trouble to select exactly what I want to find only to have it decide for me that I'm only interested in the first word.

Did you try including a "." as in object.hierarchy? Try selecting ".hierarchy" and then CTRL+F. Not exactly what I was looking for :( ** BUG **
