Floating Find/Replace Dialog
Can Obscure the Matching Text
After pressing the Find button, the
standard Visual Basic Find/Replace dialog will reposition
itself if it is hiding the found text. The equivelant
ABCFind Find/Replace dialog does not perform this automatic
repositioning. A fix for this problem is being investigated
and will be included in a future release.

Permission denied errors
when trying to overwrite a binary compatible file during
compilation
In some rare cases you may get a
permission denied error
when attempting to compile an ActiveX
component (DLL, OCX or ActiveX EXE). This will happen if the
Visual Basic project has its compatible component (either
Binary or Project) filename set to exactly the same path as the
binary that you are attempting to overwrite. This error
can occur for a number of different reasons and you
should refer to the Microsoft
MSDN web site
for details, but ABCFind can also be the
cause of this error. The best way to prevent ABCFind from causing
this error is to remove it from the list of Visual Basic Add-Ins
and restart Visual Basic. To do this, click on the main
menu Add-Ins and Add-In Manager.... This will
display the Add-In Manager dialog box. Select 'ABC Find
& Replace dialog', uncheck the 'Load on Startup' checkbox and
press OK. Shutdown Visual Basic, reopen it and reload the
required project. You then be able to compile the
project. To reinstate ABCFind, return to the Add-In Manager
dialog box, select 'ABC Find & Replace dialog', check the
'Load on Startup' and 'Loaded/Unloaded' checkboxes and press
OK.

Search Results Can Lose
Track of the Location of The Match Text
All the matches displayed in
the search results window will be linked to the text that is contained
in the code module. If these code modules are edited to such
an extent that the code in the surrounding area of the matching text becomes considerably changed from original
text then the search results window may lose track of where some of
the matches are found.
This is not really a bug in that it
is impossible to develop a method of tracking the location of
the matches that is 100% accurate without using a lot of
processing power. The method used by ABCFind has been highly optimized
to use a minimal amount of processing power but on PCs where
the a slow CPU is fitted or in code modules that are
considerably big (several thousand lines) then ABCFind will suspend
its background tracking processing on the matches. If ABCFind did not
do this then it would use so much processing power that even
basic editing of code would become jerky and
unusable.

No Facility to Search
Backwards
There is no facility to search
backwards from the current position. However, there is a
simple workaround to this omission and that is to perform a Find All
operation and then press Shift+F6 to navigate backwards through the
list of matches.

Customize Menus Do Not
Effect ABCFind Menu
The ABCFind menu that is integrated into the
Visual Basic IDE is not changed by using the Visual Basic IDE
functionality to Customize menus. This is by design.
