No more ListView.FindItem()?

[AlvaroF1]

Where's the ListView.FindItem function?
VB6 code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim FoundItem As ListItem
    Set FoundItem = ListView1.Find("Something", 0)
    If FoundItem Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "Not found"
    Else
        MsgBox "Found"
    End If
End Sub

What about VB .NET?


Thanks.

ListView1.Items.IndexOf(listviewitem)

But listviewitem cannot be a string, can it?

Do you mean this way : This search for item (which is string) into the collection of listview . Output is the index 0 (if it's alone there)

Dim listviewitem As New listviewitem("aaaaa")
messagebox.Show (ListView1.Items.IndexOf(listviewitem))

hmm but does that work? have you tried it? I dont have VS here to try it... someone let me know if it works, because if it does, I would feel really dumb

I wrote this stupid little funciton a while ago, dunno how ti works, dunno if it has any limitations, don't feel like reading my own code

Public Shared Function ListViewFind(ByVal txt As String, ByVal lvw As ListView) As Integer
 
            Dim li As ListViewItem
            For Each li In lvw.Items
                If li.Text = txt Then
                    Return li.Index
                End If
            Next
 
            Return -1
        End Function

Thank you all.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim FoundItem As New ListViewItem("Something")
        If ListView1.Items.IndexOf(FoundItem) = -1 Then
            MsgBox("Not found")
        Else
            MsgBox("Found")
        End If
    End Sub
