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

• The ticker symbols entered into the edit box must be delimited by a space.
  

• The title of this dialog may be set through the TickerSearchDlgTitle property.
  
• If the selected symbology type is browseable, the "&ldots;" button invokes the ShowTickers dialog to allow the user to browse for a subject code. If a selection is made, the selected code is inserted into the edit box.
  
• The "Symbology" pull-down menu allows the user to control by which symbology the entered text should be interpretted. The default symbology appearing in this menu may be set with the SymbologyType property.
  
• After ShowSearchTickers is called, the resulting search string is stored in the TickerSearchString property. The search string is used to set the Headline control's SearchCriteria property. Note that these properties are only valid if the return value from ShowSubjects is 0.
