Finding string in list box & selecting

[ScriptUSER]

I am trying to find string in the list box ... working

trying to select it .. not working

atempting to get selected text ... not working

CODE

$ret = _GUICtrlListFindString ($listbox, GUICtrlRead($input))

MsgBox(16,"position",$ret)

_GUICtrlListSetSel($listbox,1,$ret)

$ret = _GUICtrlListGetText ($listbox, _GUICtrlListSelectedIndex ($listbox))

MsgBox(16,"get text",$ret)

Here's what I would use:

Local $index = 0
For $i = 0 To _GUICtrlListCount($listbox)
    If $index = 0 Then
        If NOT StringInStr(_GUICtrlListGetText($listbox, $i), "String") = 0 Then $index = $i
    EndIf
Next
_GUICtrlListSetSel($listbox, 1, $index)
$text = _GUICtrlListGetText($listbox, $index)
Msgbox(0,"",$text)

Basically selects the first list item that contains the string.

Do yourself a favor, post a working example with a List control filled in, and show the text you want to find and select... and you'd probably get the answer that suits your needs. Don't make others go out of their way to help you by having to do that themselves.

I agree, form a simple example so we know exactly what you want.

Resolved ... I was too Lazy .. to understand ..

CODE

If (StringLen(GUICtrlRead($input)) > 0) Then

$ret = _GUICtrlListSelectString ($listbox, GUICtrlRead($input), 3)

If ($ret == $LB_ERR) Then

MsgBox(16, "Error", "Not Found")

Else

GUICtrlSetData($label, "Item #: " & $ret)

$ret = _GUICtrlListSelectedIndex ($listbox)

MsgBox(16, "index", $ret)

$ret = _GUICtrlListGetText ($listbox, _GUICtrlListSelectedIndex ($listbox))

MsgBox(16, "text", $ret)

EndIf

endif

See, aren't you glad you solved this one on your own?
