User interface dialogs for find and replace operations in the hex editor.

📁 Contents

This folder contains WPF dialog windows that provide interactive UI for search and replace functionality:

🔍 Find Dialogs

• FindWindow.xaml.cs - Basic find dialog
  • Search for byte sequences
  • Find First, Next, Last, All operations
  • Uses embedded HexEditor control for input
  • Binds to parent HexEditor for search results
• FindReplaceWindow.xaml.cs - Combined find and replace dialog
  • Search for byte patterns
  • Replace found sequences with new bytes
  • Replace First, Next, All operations
  • Two embedded HexEditor controls (find/replace input)

🔄 Replace Dialogs

• ReplaceByteWindow.xaml.cs - Simple byte replacement dialog
  • Replace single byte value with another
  • Text input for byte values
  • Direct integration with HexEditor’s ReplaceByte method
• GiveByteWindow.xaml.cs - Byte input dialog
  • Generic byte value input window
  • Used for fill operations and byte insertion
  • Validates hexadecimal input

🎯 Purpose

These dialogs provide a user-friendly interface for complex search and replace operations that would be difficult to perform directly in the hex view.

🔗 Integration

All dialogs:

• Accept a HexEditor parent reference in constructor
• Call methods on the parent HexEditor control
• Use the FindReplaceService indirectly through HexEditor API
• Follow WPF MVVM-lite pattern (code-behind for simplicity)

📚 Related Components

• HexEditor.xaml.cs - Parent control that hosts these dialogs
• FindReplaceService - Backend service for search/replace logic
• ClipboardService - Used for data transfer operations

🎓 Usage Example

// Opening the Find dialog from HexEditor
var findWindow = new FindWindow(this, existingSearchBytes);
findWindow.ShowDialog();

// Opening Find/Replace dialog
var findReplaceWindow = new FindReplaceWindow(this);
findReplaceWindow.ShowDialog();

// Simple byte replacement
var replaceWindow = new ReplaceByteWindow(this);
replaceWindow.ShowDialog();

✨ Features
