listview finditem needed

[ExMember001]

I need a way too find the item position by its text...
reason is, if you list directories for example and you want to add the numbers of files in it, if the listview is set to Autoarange and sortAscending the subitem doesnt get filled using the 0 positions method.

i've try to get the lv_finditem api message to work, but got no chance.

try this - it will search for "findme" string.
Message LVM_INSERTITEM returns item index, not sure if method InsertItem too...

Code Select Expand

LVFINDINFO li;
li.flags = LVFI_STRING;
li.psz = "findme";

int index = SendMessage(lv1->m_hwnd, LVM_FINDITEM, -1, &li);
if (index <> -1) {
lv1->EnsureVisible(index, true);
lv1->SetSel(index);
lv1->SetFocus();
}

if anyone need it, here is a functiion:

you call it like that (if your listview is set as *lv1):

index = Finditem(lv1->m_hwnd,"your string");
return item position
return -1 if nothing found
