#82 Show and hide find messages

Tuesday, August 10 2010

Ever dismiss a dialog, and then want to get it back again? Far too often, we uncheck the "Show this message again" checkbox not knowing how to get the message back. For Find and Replace, you can specify whether to hide or show these message boxes at Tools - Options - Environment - Find and Replace, options Display informational messages and Display warning messages.

Snippets / Notes:

Informational messages are those "FYI - For your information" style messages.  Examples include "no more occurrences found," "the specified text was not found," "Find reached the starting point," and so forth. Warning messages are those that ask a question along the lines of "are you sure?"  For example, "Do you want to cancel?", "Do you want to open files when you do a find in replace in closed files to enable undo," and so forth.
