FindInFilesLib - .NET File Search UI Library

Why developers choose FindInFilesLib

It removes the complexity of building a search UI from scratch. With ready-to-use controls, theming support, and a flexible results system, it's ideal for tools, editors, utilities, and any application that needs fast, reliable file-search capabilities.

Usage

Simply add the FindResultsTabControl in your form (named here as tabControl1), then use the following code to interact with it:

namespace TestApp
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void findButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // set the directory history
            tabControl1.FindForm.FindDirectories = new string[]
            {
                "C:\User\Me\Documents\Wibble"
            };
            // set the file types history
            tabControl1.FindForm.FindFileTypesList = new string[]
            {
                ".cs"
            };
            // set the default text to show
            tabControl1.FindForm.FindText = "FindInFilesLib";

            // show the Find window
            tabControl1.ShowFindDialog(this);
        }

        private void tabControl1_DoubleClickResult(object sender, string filePath, int line)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(this, "Load '" + filePath + "' at line " + line.ToString(), "Load", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
        }
    }
}
