This function may cause the rightmost or bottommost control to move by a few pixels, if the
original distance between first and last control did not allow the other controls to be evenly
distributed between them. This may be the case because a control can only be placed at an
integer pixel position, which means that the calculated space between the controls can
either be 4 or 5 pixels, but not 4.5 pixels. If the total amount of originally available space is
not a multiple of the calculated best fitting distance, the last control may need to be moved
a little to accommodate for the rounding error.
14.4 Find Objects
The Edit menu provides a Find… function which opens a dialog to locate specific objects in
the project. This can be useful for example to get a list of all trend controls or all pages with
a certain name. The items of the resulting list can be selected and the object will be selected
in the main window for review. The find dialog may be kept open side by side with the
main window, so that new search requests can be executed and the resulting item list can be
used to jump to the found objects in the project.
The basic settings in the search dialog can be found on the top line:

Search Pattern: This input field can be used to enter a search pattern to apply to
the name and/or the object path. If the field is left empty, no restrictions are
placed on the object name or location.

Include Path: If this option is checked, the search pattern is not only applied to
the object name but the entire object path (the location within the project) is
searched.

Match Case: This option causes the search pattern to be case sensitive.

Regular Expression: Check this if the search pattern is a regular expression
instead of a simple DOS pattern. In contrast to a simple pattern, which only
accepts one star (*) to denote an arbitrary number of unknown characters, a
regular expression is a lot more flexible and can be used to match almost any
complex naming scheme. See section 14.18.3 for more information about regular
expressions.
Below the basic settings, there are a number of areas to filter objects based on type or
location. The following filter options are available:

Object Type: In this area, one or more of the available object types may be
selected to limit the search to these types. If the object type does not matter, use
the button Set All to mark all possible object types as valid search results.

Control Type: This area becomes available if the object type Control is
selected. It is used to further narrow the search on specific control types. Again,
use the Set All button to select all control types if the type is not known or does
not matter.

Shared Objects: This area is used to extend the search to objects which are not
located at a specific position in the object tree but are shared resources, like
images, sounds, or fonts.

Search Areas: These options allow the user to limit the search to one or more of
the top level objects in the tree. The main menu, global objects, and template
area can be enabled and disabled separately using these options.
At the right side of the dialog, there are some buttons available to execute the search:
