Hello
Have you ever thought of you as a Computer Scientist contributing to flourish music and get benefited? And how if my second conjecture is that a person who knows dance can know programming better? Or to make the two together, “Computing could be taught and learned by using Music and Dance…”

Bertram,

As Deanna already mentioned, there is no "search all of this text *and* show
the results" (two completely different things!) API function available.

If you want to search a whole text than you simply have to use the suggested
'StrStr" function in a loop (the second search than starts from the end of

You're talking about the UI?
That's entirely up to you and your application design.
StrStr() just gives you the location, it's up to you what you do with
the result.

There is no "Find display" common dialog box.

Bertram,

Thats not really informative I'm afraid (much too broad). "more powerful"

Must it be able to walk you dog, change the diapers on your newborn, or does
it only need to be able to drive your car ? :-)

In other words: How are *we* to know what you are looking for if you do not

Bertram,

Pray tell, why is 'strstr' not usable for you ?

Hint: When rejecting a suggested solution its always a good idea to mention
why. What do you need that the offered solution does not give you.
if-and-when you encounter problems with it also a good idea to mention them.

Regards,

The question is:

What is function Win32-API, different of the strtstr, Windows use for search

I think if I were the OP working on a new project I'd be using the
std::string class and using std::string.find() anyway.

This is true for some PathXxx functions, StrStr is not one of them. Or
