Edit

Retrieves the index of the file from the query results that most closely matches the specified property value (or file, if used with FileActivatedEventArgs.NeighboringFilesQuery). The property that is matched is determined by the first SortEntry of the QueryOptions.SortOrder list.

public:
 virtual IAsyncOperation<unsigned int> ^ FindStartIndexAsync(Platform::Object ^ value) = FindStartIndexAsync;

/// [Windows.Foundation.Metadata.RemoteAsync]
IAsyncOperation<uint32_t> FindStartIndexAsync(IInspectable const& value);

[Windows.Foundation.Metadata.RemoteAsync]
public IAsyncOperation<uint> FindStartIndexAsync(object value);

function findStartIndexAsync(value)

Public Function FindStartIndexAsync (value As Object) As IAsyncOperation(Of UInteger)

Parameters

value: Object
Platform::Object

IInspectable

The property value to match when searching the query results. The property to that is used to match this value is the property in the first SortEntry of the QueryOptions.SortOrder list.

Or, the file to match when searching with FileActivatedEventArgs.NeighboringFilesQuery.

Returns

IAsyncOperation<UInt32>

Windows.Foundation.IAsyncOperation<unsigned int>

IAsyncOperation<uint32_t>

When this method completes successfully, it returns the index of the matched file in the query results or the index of the file in the FileActivatedEventArgs.NeighboringFilesQuery. In the latter case, the file is expected to be sourced from FileActivatedEventArgs.Files. If this function fails, it returns uint.MaxValue.

Implements

M:Windows.Storage.Search.IStorageQueryResultBase.FindStartIndexAsync(System.Object) M:Windows.Storage.Search.IStorageQueryResultBase.FindStartIndexAsync(Platform::Object) M:Windows.Storage.Search.IStorageQueryResultBase.FindStartIndexAsync(IInspectable)

Attributes: RemoteAsyncAttribute

Examples

This example shows how to find the first song in an album that has a title beginning with the "R" in a set of query results that contains songs grouped by album title.

QueryOptions queryOptions = new QueryOptions();
queryOptions.FolderDepth = FolderDepth.Deep;
queryOptions.IndexerOption = IndexerOption.OnlyUseIndexer;
SortEntry album = new SortEntry();
album.AscendingOrder = true;
album.PropertyName = "System.Music.AlbumTitle";
queryOptions.SortOrder.Add(album);

StorageFileQueryResult queryResult = musicFolder.CreateFileQueryWithOptions(queryOptions);
var firstIndex = await queryResult.FindStartIndexAsync("R");

Remarks

You can use this method in conjunction with FileActivatedEventArgs.NeighboringFilesQuery to iterate between neighboring files while preserving the original view's sort order.
