Finding items in a LISTVIEW Control

[tgo57]

Does anyone know how to find an item in a LISTVIEW control?

In VB6 there was a FINDITEM method that you could use. I dont see that method in .NET

In VB6 you could do this:

Set itmFound = lstConnections.FindItem(Name, lvwSubItem)
If itmFound Is Nothing Then
'do nothing
Else
lstConnections.ListItems.add (name)
End If

In vb.net????

I could loop through all the items.....yuch...any ideas?

The only way that I am aware of is to loop through the items.

Dim A As Windows.Forms.ListViewItem
For Each A In ListView1.Items
If A.Text = "What you are looking for" Then
MsgBox("Item Fount At:" & A.Index)
End If
Next

I was hoping for a slicker way but I guess looping will have to suffice. Thanks for your help!

Yeah I've been looking for a way to find items in a listview and that's the only way I came up with also (looping).
