PDFReaderHighlight (Function)

In french: LecteurPDFSurligne

Finds a text in the document displayed by a PDF Reader control and highlights the occurrences of this text in the control.

Example

// Surligne toutes les occurrences de "WINDEV" dans un champ lecteur PDF en jaune
PDFReaderHighlight(PDF_LECTEUR_PDF, "WINDEV", LightYellow, WholeWord)
// Surligne toutes les occurrences de "WEBDEV" en bleu
PDFReaderHighlight(PDF_LECTEUR_PDF, "WEBDEV", LightBlue, WholeWord)
// Surligne toutes les occurrences de "WINDEV Mobile" en orange
PDFReaderHighlight(PDF_LECTEUR_PDF, "WINDEV Mobile", LightOrange, WholeWord)
// Supprime tous les surlignages
PDFReaderHighlight(PDF_LECTEUR_PDF, "")

Syntax

<Result> = PDFReaderHighlight(<PDF Reader control> , <Searched text> [, <Color> [, <Search options>]])

<Result>: Integer

Number of text occurrences found in the control.
0 if no element contains the searched text.

<PDF Reader control>: Control name

Name of PDF Reader control to use.

<Searched text>: Character string

Text that must be found in the specified element.
"" (empty string) to cancel the search.

<Color>: Integer, constant or optional Color variable

Color used to highlight the occurrences found. This color can correspond to:
an RGB color (returned by RGB),
an HSL color (returned by HSL),
a WLanguage preset color.
a variable of type Color.
Note: The default color is light yellow.

<Search options>: Optional Integer constant

Indicates the search options:
IgnoreCase Case and accent insensitive search (ignores uppercase/lowercase differences).
WholeWord Searches for a whole word (between punctuation characters or spaces).

By default, no option is selected: the search is case sensitive and is performed on incomplete words..

Remarks

As long as this function is not called with an empty string ("") to stop the highlighting, all new calls will add an additional highlighting.
Starting with version 28, this function is not supported by 32-bit ARM processors. New PDF features require a 64-bit execution mode.
If an application is to be run on devices with 32-bit ARM processors, it must be generated with WINDEV Mobile 27.
