Command LBFIND
Function:
Search a list box for a string beginning with the characters in the specified string. The index of the string found is stored in an environment variable called LBFIND.
Syntax:
LBFIND dlg_id id start "string"
| dlg_id | Specifies the identifier of the dialog box that contains the list box. |
| id | Specifies the identifier of the list box. |
| start | Specifies the index of the string preceding the first string to be searched. |
| string | Specifies a sequence of characters that contains the prefix to search for. |
Note:
- Indexes are zero based, that is, the first string in the list box is at index 0, the second string is at index 1 and so on.
- The search is not case sensitive.
- When the search reaches the bottom of the list, it continues from the top of the list, back to the index specified by parameter start. If parameter start is -1 then the entire list is searched from the beginning.
- When the list box does not contain the specified string then a value of -1 is returned.
