FindController

Object Hierarchy:

[ CCode ( type_id = "webkit_find_controller_get_type ()" ) ]
public sealed class FindController : Object

Controls text search in a WebView.

A FindController is used to search text in a WebView. You can get a WebView's FindController with get_find_controller, and later use it to search for text using search, or get the number of matches using count_matches. The operations are asynchronous and trigger signals when ready, such as found_text, failed_to_find_text or counted_matches.

Namespace: WebKit

Package: webkitgtk-6.0

public unowned string get_search_text ()
Gets the text that this is searching for.

public void search_finish ()
Finishes a find operation.
public void search_next ()
Looks for the next occurrence of the search text.
public void search_previous ()
Looks for the previous occurrence of the search text.
