find strings in listbox

[soryjero]

I usually keep all listbox item in a List<string> and when i search for something in the list u can loop trough that list and add everything that matches to the listbox

FindString has 2 overloads:

Have you looked at this:

2

List<int> foundIndexes = new List<int>();
int index = -1, firstIndex = -1;
while ((index = listBox1.FindString("test", index)) !=-1){
if(index == firstIndex ){
break;
}
if (firstIndex == -1){
firstIndex = index;
}
foundIndexes.Add(index);
}

FindString only looks for string that starts with your string, if you want to search for strings that are exactly like your string use FindStringExact:
