Remarks

Use conditions

<Looper>.SeekAnywhere can be used on:
- a browsing Looper control. However, this function is not available for the browsing Table controls with direct access.
- a memory Looper control.
The value is sought among the attributes that are linked to a visible text value (for example, ..Value on an Edit control or ..Caption on a Static control)
The search is not performed in the hidden attributes.

Sensitivity to the case

The search is not case sensitive, even if the search is an exact-match search.
