System.Windows.Forms.ListView.FindItemWithText Method

Finds the first System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem or System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem, if indicated, that begins with the specified text value. The search starts at the specified index.

Syntax

public ListViewItem FindItemWithText (string text, bool includeSubItemsInSearch, int startIndex)

Parameters

text
The text to search for.
includeSubItemsInSearch
true to include subitems in the search; otherwise, false.
startIndex
The index of the item at which to start the search.

Returns

The first System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem that begins with the specified text value.

Remarks

The search is case-insensitive.

The text parameter can specify a substring of the desired matching text. In addition, this method will return the first item that starts with the specified text. For example, if a System.Windows.Forms.ListView contains two list items—the first item's text set to "angle bracket" and the second item's text set to "bracket"—a call to ListView.FindItemWithText(string) passing "brack" as the parameter will return the item whose text is "bracket".

The erload:System.Windows.Forms.ListView.FindItemWithText method returns null if the list is empty or there is no matching item.
