Yes	Yes	Yes

This function allows a client application to examine the presentation space for a specified string in a specified area.

Note: The client must set the start PS position, string to be searched for, and either the PS Length and Search Direction or End of Field (EOF) flag by using the Set Presentation Space Service Condition function before using this function. If the EOF flag is set to PCS_EFFECTEOF, the function will search the entire field specified by the Start PS Position parameter.

The client sends the following message to search for the string.

PostMessage( hServerWnd,
             WM_DDE_REQUEST,
             hClientWnd,
             MAKELPARAM(cfFormat, aSTRING) );

where:

cfFormat: Identifies the format for the search information. This must be CF_DSPTEXT.
aSTRING: Identifies the search data item.
