Did visual studio code implement find and replace - visual-studio-code

I am reading https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/editor/codebasics.
I see that there is mention of a find and replace coming soon. I am wondering if this has been created? Or if anyone has figured out a workaround to doing a replacement. I need to replace a certain property in my application 300 times and do not want to do this manually.

Phantom line display in Visual Studio Code IDE

In VS Code I have a tab with a plain text file I use for scratch while working during the day. I place all kinds code, questions, TODO lists, etc in this file and will reference it from time to time. It's helpful for history purposes.
At any rate, this file has ballooned up to well over 46,000 lines over the years and I'm now seeing this odd phantom line being injected at my cursor. I am unable to select it or remove it. I thought it was being displayed as VS Codes way of letting me know that a software update was available but when checking that was not the case. This is what it phantom line looks like, it seems to contain a history of CSS classes used over the years which is odd.
If I restart VS Code it goes away for a little while but then reappears. I have a feeling it might be because of the number of lines or perhaps memory but can't say for certain.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? I've probably enabled some setting by mistake and have no idea how to disable it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Turns out it was the HTML End Tag Labels plugin that was trying to auto complete some HTML that was somewhere within the 46k lines.
I would have thought by identifying the file as type Plain Text, the plug-in would ignore trying to close HTML tags (since its not an HTML file) but alas that's not the case.
Thank you Mark Ahrens for the tip!

What messages TEdit in delphi needs to answer in order for Windows Text Suggestions to work

When you create an new VCL form with one and put one TEdit and one TComboBox in it windows text suggestions works only with TComboBox. I guess this is because the Edit part of the combobox is a windows edit. I cannot seem to find anywhere how to make the VCL's edit behave the same way. Is there some IME messages I need to handle in a certain way or anything else?
What you ask is usually named autocomepletion.
TEdit doesn't support this out of the box (Not that I am aware of).
But there are several solutions floating around on the internet.
Not a direct solution, but have look at the answers to this question and also this one.
There is source code available for several solutions, you'll find it with this search on Google.

Powershell Studio OwnerDraw Control

I'm creating a form in Powershell studio but I'm can't get it to look the way I want. The Highlighting on objects once they've been checked or selected is anoying. I've heard I can Use the OwnerDraw control to modify this but the only code for this i can find is in C# and I can't convert it.
I need help with this or just making it so it 'un-highlights' it after say 1 second? I've used the Timer control before so could have it un highlight some how but I can't even find code examples for this either. I'd very much appreciate any help If people understand my question. Thanks.
$checkedlistbox1.SelectedItem = $null
with a timed reset. Sorted. Thank you anyway all that read!

How to highlight the differences between two versions of a text in .NET web app?

I have been supporting a web application at work for our Call Center unit for about 2 years now. The app is written in ASP.NET 3.5 with SQL server 2005 database. I’ve been asked to expand the call detail section to allow agents to edit the current call note with the ability to revert back to its previous version. Now, that’s all cool but now the manager wants to be able to click on any particular note and see all edits with changes highlighted in yellow (and if something was deleted, he wants to SEE the deleted text crossed out). Actually, what I need is very similar to how Stackoverflow handles edits on their questions. I’ve been thinking about how to go about this and after doing research and Google-ing of course, I am still unsure which route to take. I am fairly new to .NET development. Any ideas on the best technique for highlighting the changes in UI? I am afraid I am going to have to store a copy of the entire note each time they make a change because the manager wants to be able to easily review notes and revert back to ANY version (not just the most recent one) before sending the monthly call report off to our VIP customers. Since this department OFTEN changes their mind on things, I want to make sure the new functionality is scalable and easy to maintain. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I am really just looking for someone to point me in the right direction; maybe there are some tools out there that can be useful, recommended keywords in Google lookup, etc.
This will be difficult do to.
You'll need a "text editor" control that can not only edit the text, but which can also tell you what changes were made.
You then need to store not only the final text string, but also the list of changes
You'll then need to be able to display the text plus changes, using strike-outs, and different colors for inserts vs. changes
You'll need to do this not only for the changes of a single user, but you'll need to store each users' changes in the database, and will need to be able to display all the changes, all at once.
Your manager should be really sure he needs this.
Some tools for doing the diff for you can be found at Any decent text diff/merge engine for .NET?.
This would entail storing every version like you say. This should allow you to implement it similarly to SO. I seem to recall reading or hearing Jeff mention it, but wasn't able to find it, likely in one of the SO podcasts.
Easiest would be to store the text for each revision, then when the user wants to see the diff use a diff tool to generate the highlighted text.
Here is some Javascript diff code:
http://ejohn.org/projects/javascript-diff-algorithm/
If all the computers have Word installed you may be able to use a Word control to accomplish this. TortoiseSVN has scripts in its program directory which can take two word documents and produce a document with changes highlighted. To see this create c:\aaa.doc and bbb.doc, then install TortoiseSVN and run:
wscript.exe "C:\program files\tortoisesvn\Diff-Scripts\diff-doc.js" c:\aaa.doc c:\bbb.doc //E:javascript
