DESCRIPTION
The iwidgets::finddialog command creates a find dialog that works in
conjunction with a text or scrolledtext widget to provide a means of
performing search operations. The user is prompted for a text pattern
to be found in the text or scrolledtext widget. The search can be for
all occurances, by regular expression, considerate of the case, or
backwards.
METHODS
The iwidgets::finddialog command creates a new Tcl command whose name
is pathName. This command may be used to invoke various operations on
the widget. It has the following general form:
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command. The
following commands are possible for finddialog widgets:

WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS
pathName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the iwid-
gets::finddialog command.
pathName clear
Clears the pattern in the entry field and the pattern matchin
indicators in the text or scrolledtext widget.
pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no
option is specified, returns a list describing all of the avail-
able options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information
on the format of this list). If option is specified with no
value, then the command returns a list describing the one named
option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist
of the value returned if no option is specified). If one or
more option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies
the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in this
case the command returns an empty string. Option may have any
of the values accepted by the iwidgets::finddialog command.
pathName find
Search for a specific text string in the text widget given by
the -textwidget option. This method is the standard callback
for the Find button. It is made available such that it can be
bound to a find again action.
