Send Entry_Autofind eFindMode

Description

When an item with an autofind or autofind_ge option is exited after a change has been made to the data in the window, the entry_autofind message is sent. If the autofind is successful, then the data is displayed by the entry_display message, otherwise the find error condition is cleared and the message returns. Although this message would rarely be coded in an application with the send command, it may be augmented to place information in the record buffer prior to the find, or to display the information in a custom way (or not at all).
