Ok, here is some code to use the find/replace dialog to find text and replace it...

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  ReplaceDialog1.Position := Point(Memo1.Left + Memo1.Width, Memo1.Top);
 ReplaceDialog1.Execute;
end;

procedure TForm1.ReplaceDialog1Find(Sender: TObject);
var
  FoundAt: LongInt;
  StartPos, ToEnd: integer;
begin
  with Memo1 do
  begin
    { begin the search after the current selection if there is one }
    { otherwise, begin at the start of the text }
    if SelLength <> 0 then
      StartPos := SelStart + SelLength;
    else
      StartPos := 0;
    { ToEnd is the length from StartPos to the end of the text in the rich edit control }
    ToEnd := Length(Text) - StartPos;
    FoundAt := FindText(ReplaceDialog1.FindText, StartPos, ToEnd, [stHideMatchCase]);
    if FoundAt <> -1 then
    begin
      SetFocus;
      SelStart := FoundAt;
      SelLength := Length(ReplaceDialog1.FindText);
    end;
  end;
end;

and for the replace...

procedure TForm1.ReplaceDialog1Replace(Sender: TObject);
var
  SelPos: Integer;
begin
  with TReplaceDialog(Sender) do
  begin
    { Perform a global case-sensitive search for FindText in Memo1 }
    SelPos := Pos(FindText, Memo1.Lines.Text);
    if SelPos > 0 then
    begin
      Memo1.SelStart := SelPos - 1;
      Memo1.SelLength := Length(FindText);
      { Replace selected text with ReplaceText }
      Memo1.SelText := ReplaceText;
    end
    else MessageDlg(Concat('Could not find "', FindText, '" in Memo1.'), mtError, [mbOk], 0);
  end;
end;

Hi hyper66, BoRiS,

BoRiS

FindText(...  is not available in MemoComponent,

Hyper66,

not the best solution follows,

Function StrUp (S : String) : String;
{ used for not casesensitive }
var i : Integer;
begin
  for i := 1 to length(s) do s[i] := UpCase(s[i]);
  result := s;
end;

procedure TForm1.ReplaceDialog1Replace(Sender: TObject);
{ Only for ReplaceButton in ReplaceDialog }
var
  SelPos: Integer;
  SelTmp: Integer;
begin
  if Memo1.sellength > 0 then
    Selpos := Memo1.SelStart + Memo1.SelLength
  else
    SelPos := Memo1.SelStart;
  if selpos = 0 then
    Selpos := pos(StrUp(ReplaceDialog1.FindText),StrUp(memo1.text))
  else
  begin
    SelTmp := Selpos;
    Selpos := pos(StrUp(ReplaceDialog1.FindText),copy(StrUp(memo1.text),selpos,length(memo1.text)- selpos )) - 1;
    if selpos > 0 then selpos := selpos + seltmp;
  end;
  if SelPos > 0 then
  begin
    Memo1.SelStart := SelPos - 1;
    Memo1.SelLength := Length(ReplaceDialog1.FindText);
    Memo1.SelText := ReplaceDialog1.ReplaceText;
  end
  else MessageDlg(ReplaceDialog1.FindText + ' not found in Memo1', mtError, [mbOk], 0);
end;

hi hyper66,

this works like find and replace in wordpad
wholeword and raplace all are not implemented
you can search casesensitive or not

hi hyper66,

replace the
procedure TForm1.ReplaceDialog1Replace(Sender: TObject);

with this (replaces and searchnext automatically!)

procedure TForm1.ReplaceDialog1Replace(Sender: TObject);
begin
  if Memo1.sellength > 0 then
    if frmatchcase in replacedialog1.Options then
    begin
      if Replacedialog1.Findtext = copy(memo1.text,memo1.selstart+1,memo1.sellength) then
      begin
        Memo1.SelText := ReplaceDialog1.ReplaceText
      end
    end
    else
      if StrUp(Replacedialog1.Findtext) = StrUp(copy(memo1.text,memo1.selstart+1,memo1.sellength)) then
         Memo1.SelText := ReplaceDialog1.ReplaceText;
  Replacedialog1find(self)
end;

Thanks guys.
