ISAdminForm

Note

Indexing Service is no longer supported as of Windows XP and is unavailable for use as of Windows 8. Instead, use Windows Search for client side search and Microsoft Search Server Express for server side search.

 

The ISAdmin form is the startup form of the application. It contains the following controls.

  • A text box for entry of the name of the computer to manage.
  • Command buttons to connect to, start, and stop Indexing Service on the specified computer.
  • A tree view of the catalog structure on the specified computer.
  • A list view that shows either the status of the catalogs on the specified computer or the scope of the selected catalog. The catalog status is dynamically updated at a regular interval by the timer control.
  • An (invisible) timer control that determines the update interval of the catalog status list view.

The following topics discuss selected code segments for the ISAdmin form that perform actions specific to Indexing Service.
