Search In ListBox

[shachar]

hi all.
any one know a standard/free ListBox Control for vb.net
that can be searched in, even in 'multiSelect' state?
thanks.

Shachar,

The listview in detail mode with one column comes in my opinion very near to
what you ask.

Take a look at the listbox's 'FindString' and 'FindStringExact' methods.

For multiselect?

AFAIK does that find the first.

Shachar,

I am always strugling finding that multiselect settig of a listbox, I knew
it again, this can be the code with a listbox.

\\\
ListBox1.SelectionMode = SelectionMode.MultiExtended

For i As Integer = 0 To ListBox1.Items.Count - 1
ListBox1.SetSelected(i, False)
If ListBox1.Items(i).ToString.IndexOf("a") <> -1 Then
'"a" is any searchitem
ListBox1.SetSelected(i, True)
End If
Next
///

I hope this helps?

ACK, but you can specify the index where the search should start. You can
use the index of the last element that was found using 'FindString' + 1 as
start index for the next call to 'FindString'.
