CodeSnip Old Code (SVN)

Modified re changes made in USettings unit in previous revision.

Changed use of "criteria" to "filter" in various identifiers in USearch unit and in using code to better reflect purpose of the names. Made changes to affected code.

Rationalised TSearchFactory: replaced all search specific methods except CreateNulSearch with new generic CreateSearch.
Revised calling code to call CreateSearch.
Reimplemented CreateNulSearch to call CreateSearch internally.

Changed form units, along with any subsidiary frames and classes in their namespace, from MPL v1.1 to MPL v2.0.

Implemented support for allowing searches to refine previous searches instead of always working on whole database.
Modified Find Text and Find Compiler dialogue boxes to enabled scope of search to be specified.

Standardised svn:mime-type properties to "text/pascal" and svn:eol-style to "native"

Reintegrated v4-dev branch into trunk.
Trunk now contains v4 development tree

Changed to write and read persistent string lists using new ISettingsSection SetStrings and GetStrings methods instead of reading / writing each line individually and tracking count.

Removed redundant public Search property from find dialog classes and adjusted code accordingly.

Changed form classes to prevent public construction - forms must be displayed via class methods, not by directly constructing object. Added INoPublicConstruct to type definitions of forms and changed class methods that construct forms to call InternalCreate protected constructor instead of Create. Core logic to determine constructor behaviour is inherited from TBaseForm.
