how to search for text in listview?

[Tee]

Hi,

Need some help with listview, is there a function that can search the
listview for a specified string and return true/false ?
Thanks,
Tee

Private Function SearchListViewText( _
ByVal searchString As String) As Boolean

For Each lvi As ListViewItem In myListView.Items
If lvi.Text = searchString Then
Return True
Else
For Each lviSub As ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem In lvi.SubItems
If lviSub.Text = searchString Then
Return True
End If
Next
End If
Next
Return False
End Function

Cheers

dim i as integer

i = myListViewName.Items.IndexOf(myText)

I will return the index if myText is found and -1 if not

Thanks for your reply.
I thought there's a function that allow us to do so.
But seems like we have to create our own. Which is good as well.

Thanks.
