I use the rtf-control to show data. At this moment I want to try and locate a string inside this rtf-string. Having looked at the methods the rtf-control has I can't get it to work.

This is what I do.
- richtextcontrol that has the text I want to search
- a field in a database that contains the rtf-phrases
- for each record I copy the content to an instance of the rtf control
- then I issue the find method hoping for a result

The database contains the following rtf_phrase:
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1250\deff0\deflang1029{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset238{\*\fname Arial;}Arial CE;}}
\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs18 Kdy\'9e produkt zne\'e8ist\'ed ve\'f8ejn\'e9 vodn\'ed zdroje, informujte p\'f8\'edslu\'9an\'e9 \'fa\'f8ady v souladu s m\'edstn\'edmi p\'f8edpisy
\par }

The phrase I want to locate contains:
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset238{\*\fname Arial;}Arial CE;}{\f1\fnil\fcharset0 Arial;}}
\viewkind4\uc1\pard\lang1029\f0\fs18 zne\'e8ist\'ed\lang1033\f1
\par }

In ASCII this says:
table: Když produkt zne?istí ve?ejné vodní zdroje, informujte p?íslušné ú?ady v souladu s místními p?edpisy

Locate: zne?istí

Even in ASCII I can see that it's there. However, when I ask this question to the RTF-control itself with its own find method it always returns a 'no find'.
The command I use is loRTF.olertf.Find(THISFORM.olertf.textrtf, , , 0)

Even if I ask for the loRTF.olertf.Find(THISFORM.olertf.text, , , 0) the ASCII equivalent it returns a no find.

What am I missing here?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
