ShowSearchTickers2 Method (Utility Control)
Windows - Visual C++

Description
The ShowSearchTickers2 method displays a dialog box requesting a list of ticker symbols. 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 = ShowSearchTickers2();

The ShowSearchTickers2 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

• 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 ticker code. If a selection is made, the selected code is inserted into the edit box.

• 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 "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 ShowSearchTickers2 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 ShowSearchTickers2 is 0.
