replace odditywhy if i do a select on ablock of text (in vs2003) when i do a find/replace
is find next and replace disabled? replace all is there but i may well not want to do that? if i pick any of the other 'search' options replace and find next are enabled. why? guy Good Question.
I suspect the logic was that instances of the item you want to replace should be searched for whever they are with an option to selectively replace. Whereas it would make less sense ( or may do ) and is less likely to be a requirement to only replace this within the selection. Nevertheless, you do have a point, perhaps they should have made this optional. I suspect it's a concious design feature. !
