Find2 Method Differences

In Visual Studio Macros, a number of Find2 parameters are handled differently than in Visual Studio. With Target, any reference to Find in File is not supported, while SearchPath and FilesOfType are ignored. The FindDone event also is not supported; although it is visible in the FindEvents collection, it is not fired, so using it for event handling will result in an error.

The following table lists the differences in Find2 between Visual Studio Macros and the Visual Studio extensibility model.

Operation	Behavior in Visual Studio Macros
Target	vsFindTargetFiles and vsFindTargetSolution return errors
SearchPath	Returns an error
FilesOfType	Returns an empty string
