set_search_context


Description:

public void set_search_context (SourceSearchContext? search_context)

Sets the new search context for the document.

Use this function only when the search occurrences are highlighted. So this function should not be used for background searches. The purpose is to have only one highlighted search context at a time in the document.

After using this function, you should unref the search_context. The this should be the only owner of the search_context, so that the Clear Highlight action works. If you need the search_context after calling this function, use get_search_context.

Parameters:

this

a Document

search_context

the new SourceSearchContext
