[2005] Highlighting a listbox item

[Pac_741]

Hi to all,

i have a listbox that have a lot of items and i would like to give the user the
ability of searching through those items by just inserting the items name in a textbox and then press a button, and the item that the user inserted on the textbox will be highlight on the listbox, of course if it exist......
i know how to do this with a textbox but i dont know how to do it with a listbox

thanks

Use the FindString or FinsStringExact method of the ListBox to get the index, then set the SelectedIndex property.
