Find
Using the Find Service
16-25
The following code fragment shows how to use the
statusView
parameter to
display a progress message to the user:
MyAppplicationBase.Find:=
func(what, results, scope, statusView)
begin
if statusView then
statusView:SetMessage("Searching in" &
GetAppName(kAppSymbol)&
$/u2026);
...
end;
There are several ways to obtain the application name string that replaces the
appName
variable; they are listed here in order of recommended use:
You can retrieve this string from the
appName
slot in your application's base view.
You can retrieve this string from the
title
slot in your finder frame.
You can retrieve this string by calling
GetAppName(kAppSymbol);
Registering for Finds
16
Applications registered with the Find service participate in Global finds; they also
participate in selective finds when specified by the user.
You do not need to register with the Find service to support Local finds. Global
and Local find support use the same mechanism, which relies on the
Find
and
ShowFoundItem
methods that your application supplies. A Global find is simply
a series of Local finds initiated by the system in applications that have registered
for participation in Global finds.
Use the
RegFindApps
function to register your application with the Find service
and its counterpart, the
UnRegFindApps
function, to reverse the effect. You
should call these functions from your application part's
InstallScript
and
RemoveScript
functions.
