| Windows 95: wParam is 16-bits
|
|

LB_FINDSTRING
An application sends an LB_FINDSTRING message to find the first string in a
list box that contains the specified prefix.
LB_FINDSTRING
wParam = (WPARAM) indexStart; // item before start of search
lParam = (LPARAM) (LPCTSTR) lpszFind; // search string address
Parameters
indexStart
Value of wParam. 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 the indexStart parameter. If indexStart is  1, the entire list box is searched from the beginning.
Windows 95: The wParam parameter is limited to 16-bit values. This means list boxes cannot contain
more than 32,767 items. Although the number of items is restricted, the total
size in bytes of the items in a listbox is limited only by available memory.
lpszFind
Value of lParam. Points to the null-terminated string that contains the prefix to search for.
The search is case independent, so this string can contain any combination of
uppercase and lowercase letters.
Return Values
The return value is the index of the matching item, or LB_ERR if the search
was unsuccessful.
Remarks
If you create the list box with an owner-drawn style but without the
LBS_HASSTRINGS style, this message returns the index of the item with a long value
(supplied as the lParam parameter of the LB_ADDSTRING or LB_INSERTSTRING message) that matches the
value supplied as the lpszFind parameter.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
