Use prepared statement and LIKE to search part of a string

This is what someone must have posted sometime as I find it in my app:

// Prevent app from doing some automatic text replacements such as ordinary quotes to smart quotes.

#if TargetCocoa then
  
  Declare Function NSClassFromString Lib "Cocoa" (aClassName As CFStringRef) As Ptr
  Declare Function documentView Lib "Cocoa" selector "documentView" (obj_id as Integer) as Ptr
  Declare Sub setAutomaticQuoteSubstitutionEnabled lib "Cocoa" selector "setAutomaticQuoteSubstitutionEnabled:" (id as ptr, value as Boolean)
  Declare Sub setAutomaticDashSubstitutionEnabled  lib "Cocoa" selector "setAutomaticDashSubstitutionEnabled:"  (id as ptr, value as Boolean)
  Declare Sub setAutomaticTextReplacementEnabled   lib "Cocoa" selector "setAutomaticTextReplacementEnabled:"   (id as ptr, value as Boolean)
  
  Var  myTextArea as ptr = documentView (t.Handle)
  
  setAutomaticQuoteSubstitutionEnabled (myTextArea, false)
  setAutomaticDashSubstitutionEnabled  (myTextArea, false)
  setAutomaticTextReplacementEnabled   (myTextArea, false)
  
#endif

Yeah Text Areas and text field you need two slightly different bits of code IF I recall correctly

@Travis_Hill those colors are seriously hard to read in dark mode
