object

A SftTreeItems object.

ItemIndex

The zero-based index of the item where the search begins (including ItemIndex).

ColIndex

The zero-based column number to be searched.

SearchString

The text to be searched.

FoundIndex

Returns the zero-based index of the item, where the specified SearchString is found. -1 is returned if no item is found matching the specified SearchString.

Comments

The FindCellTextExact method searches items for a string using an exact match.

The string described by SearchString is compared to the Cell.Text property of all items and columns involved in the search. The search starts at the item described by ItemIndex and is restricted to the column specified by ColIndex. If an item with a matching Cell.Text property is found, its zero-based index is returned, otherwise -1 is returned.

Only one column can be searched at a time. Items.FindCell can be used to search multiple columns and with additional features not available to FindCellTextExact.

The comparison of SearchString and the Cell.Text property is not case sensitive. The Cell.Text property and the SearchString must match in their entirety, partial strings do not match. To find a partial match for SearchString use the Items.FindCellText method.

SearchString	Cell .Text Property	Match	Comment
ABC	abc	Yes	Same string, case is ignored
abc	abc123	No	Not the same string
abc	Thisabc	No	Not the same string
abc	ab	No	Not the same string
