ShowSearchMulti2 Method (Utility Control)
Windows - Visual C++

Description
The ShowSearchMulti2 method displays a dialog box requesting multiple words and phrases. The dialog box contains Full View and Current View option buttons that enable the user to choose the view in which to apply the search.

Syntax
long result = ShowSearchMulti2();

The ShowSearchMulti syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
result	Return value. A long integer containing 0 if the user clicked the OK button and -1 if the user clicked the Cancel button.

Remarks
After the ShowSearchMulti2 method is called, the search string is stored in the SearchMulti property. This string is used to set the Headline control's SearchCriteria property. Note that the SearchMulti property is only valid if the return value from ShowSearchMulti2 is 0. The Ticker, Subject and Source buttons bring up dialogs allowing the user to select ticker, subject or source (feed) codes to be incorporated into the search.

The Full View and Current View option buttons enable the user to choose the view in which to apply the search. The ViewType property contains the search type selected in the "Apply To" group (1 = Full View, 2 = Current View). The DisableViewType property allows you to disable a view type option button.

The Full View option enables the user to perform the search on all stories in the NewsEdge Server database. No other search criteria is incorporated into the search. For example, if the user brings up the ShowSearchMulti2 dialog to perform a search and chooses Full View, the user will see all stories that match the search criteria.

The Current View option enables the user to perform the search on the current set of stories in the Headline View. For example, if the user performs a Source View on the news feed "AP" and then brings up the ShowSearchMulti2 dialog box to perform a search and chooses Current View, the user will see stories from the news feed "AP" that match the search criteria.
