TMemoBuf. SearchFirst method

Declaration

function SearchFirst(SearchText: string; CaseMatters: Boolean): Boolean;

Category

Memo

Description

This method will start a search process, looking for SearchText from the beginning of the buffer. If CaseMatters is true then the case of the characters must match; otherwise, case will not be a factor for the match. This function will return true if it finds a match and false if it doesn't. Use SearchNext to continue the search after the first occurrence.
