Title: How to search for text in a TListview
// Syntax:
function FindCaption(StartIndex: Integer; Value: string;
Partial, Inclusive, Wrap: Boolean): TListItem;
// Example, Beispiel:
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
lvItem: TListItem;
begin
lvItem := ListView1.FindCaption(0, // StartIndex: Integer;
'99', // Search string: string;
True, // Partial,
True, // Inclusive
False); // Wrap : boolean;
if lvItem nil then
begin
ListView1.Selected := lvItem;
lvItem.MakeVisible(True);
ListView1.SetFocus;
end;
end;
// To search for a list view subitem (also for items), use this function:
// Funktion, um auch Subitems zu durchsuchen:
{
Search for text in a listview item
@Param lv is the listview, supposed to be in vaReport mode
@Param S is the text to search for
@Param column is the column index for the column to search , 0-based
@Returns the found listview item, or Nil if none was found
@Precondition lv nil, lv in report mode if column 0, S not empty
@Desc The search is case-insensitive and will only match on the
complete column content. Use AnsiContainsText instead of AnsiCompareText
to match on a substring in the columns content.
