wxFindReplaceDialog(3erl)

🎀 NAME 🎀

wxFindReplaceDialog — functions for the wxFindReplaceDialog class, and yup bestie, this is the Erlang module definition page for wxFindReplaceDialog(3erl) 💖

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so wxFindReplaceDialog is a standard modeless dialog. Its whole thing is letting the user search for some text — and possibly replace it with something else ✨. It’s giving “find and replace but make it a dialog,” and honestly? Iconic.

The actual searching is supposed to be done in the owner window, which is the parent of this dialog. The way that this works means that — unlike the other standard dialogs — this one must have a parent window. Also, there is no way to use this dialog in a modal way; it is always, by design and implementation, modeless. No cap, that’s just the vibe 🫶.

Please see the page_samples_dialogs sample for an example of using it.

This class is derived (and can use functions) from: wxDialog wxTopLevelWindow wxWindow wxEvtHandler.

wxWidgets docs: wxFindReplaceDialog.

🌈 DATA TYPES 🌈

wxFindReplaceDialog() = wx:wx_object()

---

✨ EXPORTS ✨

💖 new() -> wxFindReplaceDialog()

No args, just a fresh dialog object. Slay.

---

💖 new(Parent, Data, Title) -> wxFindReplaceDialog()

Types:

Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()
Data = wxFindReplaceData:wxFindReplaceData()
Title = unicode:chardata()

---

💖 new(Parent, Data, Title, Options :: [Option]) -> wxFindReplaceDialog()

Types:

Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()
Data = wxFindReplaceData:wxFindReplaceData()
Title = unicode:chardata()
Option = {style, integer()}

After using default constructor create/5 must be called.

⚠️ The Parent and Data parameters must be non-NULL, bestie. Do not play with that.

---

💖 destroy(This :: wxFindReplaceDialog()) -> ok

Destructor. It’s the goodbye era 😭.

---

💖 create(This, Parent, Data, Title) -> boolean()

Types:

This = wxFindReplaceDialog()
Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()
Data = wxFindReplaceData:wxFindReplaceData()
Title = unicode:chardata()

---

💖 create(This, Parent, Data, Title, Options :: [Option]) -> boolean()

Types:

This = wxFindReplaceDialog()
Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()
Data = wxFindReplaceData:wxFindReplaceData()
Title = unicode:chardata()
Option = {style, integer()}

Creates the dialog; use wxWindow:show/2 to show it on screen.

⚠️ Again: the Parent and Data parameters must be non-NULL.

---

💖 getData(This) -> wxFindReplaceData:wxFindReplaceData()

Types:

This = wxFindReplaceDialog()

Get the wxFindReplaceData object used by this dialog. It’s literally giving you the data back, as one treats 💅.
