Searching just one column of a ListView

[jjasmith4]

I have a ListView object always set in Report (Details) view, so it's always displayed as a grid. Each item has four subitems, so the grid has five columns.

It seems the FindItem method search just the first column by searching the items, but if you tell it to search subitems, it searches all subitems, i.e., all columns but the first!

Can't FindItem search just one column, say the third column (second subitem)? Really? Are there any versions of ListView later that the one in MSCOMCTL.OCX, which came with VB6, that might have this capability?

Is there a way to do the find based off a specific column? Besides checking the contents of each sub column in the found listitem?

Saw this. It's wrong - the Index parameter specifies which row to begin searching, not which column to search. I tried it.

And I agree with that, what I wanted to show you is that it is not possible to search in a column with the finditem method. What you should do is search with a loop in the column that you want.
