Using the program
Previous Top Next


The program should be relatively easy and straight forward to use, but here are a few pointers for you.

You have two ways of searching.

Option 1 - by control type see here for the control types available.

You can select the control type - here I have chosen "Buttons" and "All Functions".

The second drop down box has the following options:

All functions
Messages
Notifications
Styles
Other
  


Option 2 - by searching a word or value (Hex or Decimal).

If you choose option 2, you can refine the search in different ways, here of the options:

1. Search by name - e.g. BS_LEFT (as above) or you can search "Left" (without the quotes).

When you have typed your word or value, you can click "Search" or just hit the Enter key.

Don't forget if you want to search for a value, change the drop down box from "Word" to either "Value (Hex)" or "Value (Dec)".


2. Search by value - e.g. 400 (for 0x400) - you should leave out the 0x part of any search value.

The above two options are by default selected.


3. Search descriptions.
This searches through the text of each constant and will display any match it finds.

Example, if you searched for HANDLE you will get 22 matches.
If you search with "Search exact match" you will get 21 matches, that's because one of the constsnts has the word HANDLES included.

My advise is if you don't find what you are looking for with Search exact on - switch it off and do a gerneral search.

You also have the option to search by control type, so you could just search WINDOW controls if you want to - the default is to search all control types.
