SendMessage string comparing...

VB Code:

Dim lstitem As String
lstitem = ListView1.ListItems.Item
For i = 1 To ListView1.ListItems.Count
y = SendMessage(lstitem.hwnd, LB_FINDSTRING, -1, ByVal File1)

I'm not sure if I did this right. I'm wanting to compare vice versa the following:

VB Code:

x = SendMessage(File1.hwnd, LB_FINDSTRING, -1, ByVal ListView1.ListItems.Item)

VB Code:

x = SendMessage(File1.hwnd, LB_FINDSTRING, -1, ByVal ListView1.ListItems.Item.Text)

I'm wanting to compare the opposite of that. That determines if the string is found in the filelistbox. I want to determine if the string is found in the listview. Hope this makes sense.

ListViews are far more complicated. LVM_FINDITEM with an LVFINDINFO UDT is what you need. The only documentation I know about is for C++.

Try www.allapi.net for LVM_FINDINFO and LVFINDITEM information for VB. Sorry :rolleyes:
