I feel like I must be missing something completely obvious, but I don’t see how to search for text in a multi line textctrl. Is there an API for searching forwards and backwards through a text control?

I do not want suggestions involving the FindReplaceDialog, that’s not an option I wish to explore. I will be creating an entry widget and want to search for whatever the user types in. I know how to do the bindings and whatnot, I just don’t see how to find occurrences of a string within a TextCtrl.

    You could try the SCiTE widget… it should blow Tk’s text widget out of the water. It’s integrated into wxPython’s stc module
