Search unit with db objects

Recommended Posts

I have inherited a data unit with hundreds of objects and I can't find what I am looking for. Is there any way to search for the object I am looking for?  Thanks! 

 

Please let me know the correct way to refer to this file and I will update the title.  There has got to be a better way than 'data unit' or 'unit with db objects'!

 

Thanks!

It's called a data module. And you can search its dfm file like any other Delphi dfm...if it is not binary, which should be default.

You can right click a clear area and select "View as Text" and search there (to switch back right click and "View as Form"). The Object TreeView / Structure panel (title depends on Delphi version) visible usually to the left of the form when viewing as a form can be used to select a component when you know it's name and what it is connected to going up the tree.
