Remarks

This class provides a generic Find button, uses the Find object, and locates a record based on specific criteria.

To use, drop the class on a project or form or, from the Component Gallery Item Shortcut Menu, select Add to Project or Add to Form. When you add the class to a form, Visual FoxPro opens a builder so you can specify the appropriate cFindString, lMatchCase, lSkipMemo, and lWraparound values. When you drop the class on a project, you can choose between adding the class or creating a subclass.

See Guidelines for Using Visual FoxPro Foundation Classes for more information on using foundation classes.
