any functions for seaching the listview?

[MrPolite]

Is there any function that could search for an item in a listview by getting the text of the listitem? the Items.IndexOf() function gets a listview item, which doesnt seem to work. I'm just trying to search for an item by searching for the item's TEXT....
or maybe there is a function for this and I'm just too sleepy to recognize it

The IndexOf method does work, it returns the index position of the String you searched for.

Dim index as Integer = ListBox1.Items.IndexOf("item name")

You can also use the Contains method which returns a Boolean value.

I can't find a search function either. You can always loop through the items and compare the strings.

well yeah but that's for listbox, not listview.... it's nothing important.
Just wanted to know if there is a function before I make my own crappy version of the search function
thanks
