Here is how to use a SearchDialog in the Visual Basic code:

Partial Public Class MainWindow

    Private Sub Window_Loaded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
        Dim textEditor = New Alternet.Editor.Wpf.TextEditor()
        textEditor.LoadFile("myfile.txt")
        textEditor.SearchDialogAppearance = Alternet.Editor.Wpf.SearchDialogAppearance.PopupPanel
        textEditor.SearchDialog.SearchSettings.SearchOptions = textEditor.SearchDialog.SearchSettings.SearchOptions Or Alternet.Editor.Wpf.SearchOptions.CaseSensitive Or Alternet.Editor.Wpf.SearchOptions.FindTextAtCursor
    End Sub
End Class

Remarks

SearchDialog provides search and replace capabilities to TextEditor control.

Use SearchSettings to customize search and replace behavior.

By default, the search dialog is displayed as a popup panel at the top-right corner of TextEditor control. You can override it to be displayed as a separate dialog box by setting SearchDialogAppearance property.
