CComboBox::FindStringExact

Call the FindStringExact member function to find the first list-box string (in a combo box) that matches the string specified in lpszFind.

int FindStringExact(
   int nIndexStart,
   LPCTSTR lpszFind 
) const;

Parameters

  • nIndexStart
    Specifies the zero-based index of the item before the first item to be searched. When the search reaches the bottom of the list box, it continues from the top of the list box back to the item specified by nIndexStart. If nIndexStart is –1, the entire list box is searched from the beginning.

  • lpszFind
    Points to the null-terminated string to search for. This string can contain a complete filename, including the extension. The search is not case sensitive, so this string can contain any combination of uppercase and lowercase letters.

Return Value

The zero-based index of the matching item, or CB_ERR if the search was unsuccessful.

Remarks

If the combo box was created with an owner-draw style but without the CBS_HASSTRINGS style, FindStringExact attempts to match the doubleword value against the value of lpszFind.

Example

// The string to match.
LPCTSTR lpszmyExactString = _T("item 5");

// Delete all items that exactly match the specified string.
int nDex = 0;
while ((nDex = m_pComboBox->FindStringExact(nDex, lpszmyExactString)) 
   != CB_ERR)
{
   m_pComboBox->DeleteString(nDex);
}
