    how to edit the find-and-replace dialog in Dreamweaver 8

      For over 13 years I have been a happy user of Macromedia Dreamweaver 8. And I still see no reason to use any other program for editting PHP.

      However, 1 thing has been bugging me for years. In the find-and-replace dialog there is a select "Find in". The options are in a dropdown.

      I want this select to be a multiselector (not in functionality, but just so I don't need to click to get the dropdown, but just one click to select).

       

      I read in the help at 'Customizing the appearance of dialog boxes' at point 4

       

       

      On your disk, find the appropriate HTM file in the Configuration/Objects, Configuration/ Commands, or Configuration/Behaviors folder.

       

      I've been searching but can not find the code for that dialog, althou it should be easy. Also did a search for that 'save' image, because once I find that, I can find this form, but its not in the macromedia folder.

       

      how to edit the find-and-replace dialog in Dreamweaver 8?

          I don't think you can edit the F&R dialogue.  It's looks less like an image and more like a form drop list to me.

            Yes its a dropdown list. But to find the code for that select I tried to find the htm file that code is on by searching for the save-image which is also on that page (next to the yellow folder). I did a search on all folders in c:/programfiles/macromedia and that image is not in there. If I could find the image name, I could search the code for that and should find that htm (or javascript) which is outputting it, then the select must be near to that.

             

            I also searched the code for the various texts on the page and got many hits, but not from the dialog page. I can't search dll files, so maybe thats where that code is in.
