Parameters

IndexStart: Index in the combobox to start searching. It is the zero-based index of the item before the first item to be searched. Set to -1 to search from the beginning of the control.
String: The text string to search for.
Exact: Specifies whether to perform a search for an exact word match instead of a partial match.

Return Type

The zero-based index of the first item found; returns -1 if no match is found.

Remarks

The search performed by this method is not case-sensitive. The String parameter is a substring to compare against the text associated with the items in the combo box list. The search performs a partial match starting from the beginning of the text, returning the first item in the list that matches the specified substring.
