**This template (and its associated code templates) has been deprecated, and is now replaced by the [[tplcontrolrtf.htm|RTF Text Control]] template.**

The FindRTF code template is used to search for text within the rich text field. This template calls the Find method. The string (or variable containing a string) to search for is passed to this method. If this parameter is omitted, the Find dialog will appear. The position where the text is found is returned.

** Prototype:**

**Find(**//find text// **)**

**Example method calls:**

**loc:position = oRTF_RTFTextBox.Find( loc:find )**

**loc:position = oRTF_RTFTextBox.Find( 'mytext' )**

**Template Prompts:**

**Associated RTF control**

Select the RTF control from the drop-down list. All controls on the Window are included in the list. This field in required.

**Find string or variable**

Specify the text to search for within the rich text field. A string or variable may be used. To use a variable, precede it with an exclamation point (!).

**Variable to receive starting position**

The Find method returns the starting position of the text to be searched for. Specify a variable to hold the starting position.
