Summary:
Find Selection in One Window or All Windows Options.

Question:
When performing a Query>Find Selection to locate a selection on the map, MapInfo has added options to find the selection in the current window only or in all open windows.

Answer:

Find Selection in One Window or All Windows Options

In the last release, MapInfo added the ability to find a selection in the front window only. MapInfo has expanded this capability so a selection can be found in the current window or in all open windows. The Find Selection In Current Map Window command allows the ability to search and display a selection in the currently active Map window. It is not possible to search for the selection in other types of windows (Browser or Layout, for example) using this command. This option can be accessed by pressing <CTRL G>.

The Find Selection In All Windows command allows the ability to locate the selection in all open windows (including a Browser window) that are currently open.

To access Find Selection in Current Map Window:

1. Perform the Query>Find or Query>Find Selection.
2. Choose Query>Find Selection>In Current Map Window.

Figure: Query>Find Selection Menu



Note: Choosing the In Current Map Window option shortens the search time.

To access Find Selection In All Windows:

1. Perform the Query>Find or Query>Find Selection.
2. Choose Query>Find Selection>In All Windows.
