Remarks
This class provides a generic Find dialog with simple options such as field choice. This class uses the Find object.
To use, drop the class on a project or, from the Component Gallery Item Shortcut menu, select Create Form or Add to Project. When you drop the class on a project, you can choose between adding the class, creating a subclass, or creating a form. When you drop the class on a project or choose Create a new form from the selected class in the shortcut menu, Visual FoxPro displays an Open dialog box so you can specify the name of the form, then creates and opens the form in the Form Designer.
