Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Function FindObject( _
   ByVal obj As Object, _
   ByVal startIndex As Integer, _
   ByVal findTargetColumnIndex As Integer _
) As Integer

'Usage
 
Dim instance As GcComboBox
Dim obj As Object
Dim startIndex As Integer
Dim findTargetColumnIndex As Integer
Dim value As Integer
 
value = instance.FindObject(obj, startIndex, findTargetColumnIndex)

public int FindObject( 
   object obj,
   int startIndex,
   int findTargetColumnIndex
)

Parameters

obj: The object to search for.
startIndex: The zero-based index of the item before the first item to be searched.
findTargetColumnIndex: The System.Int32 value to which column index search in.

Return Value

The zero-based index of the first item found.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException	The startIndex is out of range.
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException	The findTargetColumnIndex is out of range.

Remarks

The obj parameter is a object to compare against the object associated with the items in the combo box list. The search performs a partial match starting from the beginning of the object, returning the first item in the column located by findTargetColumnIndex of the combo box list that matches the object. You can then perform tasks, such as removing the item that contains the search object using the ListItemCollection.Remove method or changing the object. This method is typically used after a call has been made using the version of this method that does not specify a starting index. Once an initial item has been found in the list, this method is typically used to find further instances of the search object by specifying the index position in the startIndex parameter of the item after the first found instance of the search object. If you want to perform a search for an exact word match instead of a partial match, use the FindStringExact(String,Int32,Int32) method.
