Search in drives

The program performs searches of files and dirs into a given directory, that partially match a given name (also wildcars accepted) May be you can learn a lot, reading with attention the code, because the many solution taken writing the code, to force some controls to a more handy behaviour. I list just a few of them: -the pause sub, takes care also of midnight crossing -the single click dir selection, that usually requires a double click -the search engine itself, based on a couple of routines that are interruptible by the user (button 'Stop search') -the search itself, that is done either for dirs either for files, basing on partial macthing of a given name (but also wildcards are allowed) -the popup menu (click right) on the results list box, that allows you to copy up to 3000 lines in the clipboard (to transfer text to Word to store the results or print a list of them) -the help-online, at the botton of the form, that will assist you while you just move over controls (is based on a single routine, named 'help', that is, I presume, well conceived) -the about form that is able to resize the contained image (a white rose), to save (button save) the full size image to 'c:\Search About.bmp' or print the image, in the actual size (larger or smaller as you sized the about form), using the default printer. The code is very interesting for the ones interested in printing, zooming and saving images. -the horizontal scroll bar added in the results list box For me there is the pleasure of sharing my way of programming with you.
