  3. Match Case checkbox
  4. Find button
  5. Cancel button
2. You should be able to move dialog around the screen, both when invoked and after a match is found.
3. Verify you are able to do some basic operations to the message when the find dialog (and its child alert or error dialogs) is opened. These operations should not interfere with Find/Next or Find Again. Examples:
  1. Save As
  2. Refresh
  3. Print the message
