I was wondering if there is a possibility to skip the labels in a form, for example on a button, when doing a search.

Regards,

Dominique

There might be something you can do with the "Property Search" mode, depending on what you try to look for. Having a condition like "[Label] [not contains] {searchexpression}" would do that, however, that will stop searching in objects that don't have a label property (such as program units/triggers/etc) ... or if you only want to search in source code, then you could use Property Search and set a condition to "*ObjectType <> Item" to remove all block items from your search.

Anything more complex than that and the search tool probably won't be of much help to you and require FormsAPI Master scripting instead.

Okay, thanks for the quick response. I'll give it a try.
