Hello,

I have a customized Outlook/Exchange application that I wrote with a lot of
functionality for our recruiting firm. The users really love it, but they'd
like to be able to highlight all the occurrances of a word(s) in the Notes
field (where we keep a rich text version of their resume). Is there ANY way at
all that I could write some code to do this? I know how to write my own
find/find next function to highlight the first/next occurrance of a word, but
is there a way to highlight ALL occurrances of a word at once?

Thanks,

John

Not that I know of.

Can't Redemption's SafeInspector object do this? Actually, it can probably
only highlight one letter/word/phrase at a time, because that's all you can
do in the Outlook UI anyway. Maybe it can be used to bold/change colour/font
of various words?

Yes, I do use Redemption here and I don't think that it is much help in
highlighting multiple (non-contiguous) words at once. I can probably change
the font of the words to be in red or something if you can help with such
syntax as it applies to the Notes field of a contactitem.

Thanks,

John

I've never had the chance to use the SafeInspector object yet, but it sounds
like it is quite capable of controlling Rich Text formatting. There should
be some code samples for it at http://www.dimastr.com.

John, the SafeInspector has an RTFEditor property. Use that to set the
selection with SelStart and SelLength, then use SelAttributes to set the
TextAttributes for the selected range.

It works like a charm :-)

But that's only for contiguous text, not for example the same word scattered
among the rest of the text.

You are right. But Eric´s idea is good: "higlight" the words e.g. with a
specified color.

If I can change the RTF property for a single word at a time, then I can skip
to the next occurrance and do the same for that word and so on. I wouldn't be
able to highlight them all at once, but it sounds like I can change the text
properties of those words.

I have already written my own Find... / Find Next... function for a text box
on my form that holds a lot of notes. I should be able to use that for
changing the the font of the words in question.
