Clears the internal list of rendered results from previous calls to Find.
public void ClearRenderedFoundText()
When DocumentViewerFindText.RenderResults is true and Find completes successfully, the results (if any) of the search will be added to the internal list of results in DocumentViewerText. All results in the internal list will be drawn to the screen with FoundTextBrush after ImageViewer.PostRenderItem is called on the ImageViewerItem for each DocumentPage.
_By default, results are not cleared between calls to Find_, in order to support multiple find text operations with different bounds and options. For this reason, it is best to call ClearRenderedFoundText before each find text operation if you wish to render only that set of results.
